Do Rolex make dials that have both Roman Numerals AND Diamond markers?

What I suspect and hope has happened here is that you were originally sold two Rolex watches that had been fitted with aftermarket parts at some time (specifically the dials) and likely hands also. Hands are a common service replacement. The dial in your watch is not a genuine Rolex dial.

That doesn't automatically mean the rest of your watch or watches is/are not authentic and the crown, case, bezel, cyclops magnifier and date font all look fine for that reference of that age. Thats not to say they are all correct, but they look authentic.

From the pictures posted, your watch appears to be quite heavily worn and quite old. Non genuine diamond dials are not that uncommon in older Rolex watches but do of course signifiantly reduce value.

What is concerning is the amount of time it has taken the jeweller to source the dials and that's worth a question as to why. As for the new dials, I'm no expert but the new dials look authentic to me.

Personally given all that's happened I would ask for a full refund plus a gesture towards your significant inconvenience and the time taken, and look elsewhere for replacement. Alternatively, I'd have the dials swapped and ask the jeweller to pay for a full service and refurbishment if not with a Rolex Service Centre who may refuse to work on them if the new dials are not to the original specification of the watches but with one of the specialists like https://www.rolliworks.com/ or http://www.lawatchworks.com/ who can n ot only validate and service the watches but refinish them to a high standard.

I would concur with everything youve said here.
