So you bought movements from a thief. Nice.

No mate, he was allowed to BUY this as a retirement gift, calm down mate. Just wanted to know how is the dial called, thanks for looking

lol, being allowed to BUY something is now considered a GIFT?

[marcinflair]

I believe if there is documentation to prove it it's no problem any more? So please if you can't help me identify the dial, keep other comments to yourself. Thank you

Yeah seriously. That dial is decades old, who cares.

No accusations. You can't/couldn't get full movements as an employee, not as a retirement gift, not through an employee scheme. Only one way to get them.

There's been a previous discussion on these, and some fluff on the web. They are (most likely) the COSC testing dials installed for that purpose, prior to casing up tested movements.
The value is in the movement, the dials are valueless other than as a curio piece.

So, you work for Rolex? Do you have some Rolex legitimitation?
Can you prove you're accusations?

I have the same dial from a retired Rolex Engineer, he didn't stole it. It was a gift for the years he worked on the 4130 caliber!

Most of the famous Rolex collectors have this dial/movement in there collection from Rolex employees! So yes all these collectors are thieves...... ;)

Something similar was posted a while ago as I remember it correctly.

Yes...I remember something being posted within the last few months asking about a similar dial

[REFZ]

Found it, OP posted another topic with pictures with the same dial a month ago.

Yep, they hand them out at the factory canteen. Just like all the other factory freebies Rolex is known to hand out.

Padi already dispelled the thought that these were even COSC test dials. I think it's far more likely that they are manufactured, along with the seemingly independent posts and images that have recently surfaced on the web.

Wait a minnie - you're the same guy/girl who chimed in to support the last time the OP tried to get some off market interest in this junk.

I read everything since 2007 so don't be flattered by you're own investigation.
Maybe you could ask Philipp Stahl or Vinontre how they get those Junk parts!

[up2nogood]

Oh good, then there's evidence you can provide of all that you assert, and not just links to Instagram, etc.
I am looking forward to you helping me know what you know if these from your source of facts and documentation.

Perhaps you should ask the retired Rolex engineer/worker? Not sure how anyone here could help you.
