If you're looking for an original, untouched dial,
That one is definitely not.

I actually like the 1980's-style sans-serif Romans. I'd expect the tritium to be a little darker if it was never refinished, but I can't make a confident decision from those pictures.

We don't talk about give-aways nor fight club.

Take my advice at face value.

Personally I'd PM someone on here like greekbum. I wouldn't put much trust in websites with lots of dials for sale.

This dial turned out to be original. On photo it looks glossy and imperfect printing especially on the railway track but in person its more sort of a Matt black. 2 service centres confirmed it to be oringal not resprayed.

Southtexas has some nice Day-Date dials that are original for sale. Look in the Rolex parts for sale section.
