"Superlative Chronometer" missing from dial

[ian mo]

Hello all,

I've just joined the forum as I am looking to buy my first Rolex. I don't want to repeat what I've put in my first post in the New Members section, so for anyone interested here is the link to my post:

I've come across one watch that fits my brief quite well. It seems in decent condition although I haven't seen it in person yet.

It's purportedly an early nineties Oyster Perpetual 67513 model (no Date) with original paperwork.

One thing though - the "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified" markings usually found on the dial are absent. I've noticed this on a couple of other watches as well, and was just wondering whether this suggested any cause for concern.

Many thanks,


Ian
