What is this dial ?

Hello fellow members,
I was wondering if anyone could identify this dual and if it’s an authentic Rolex dial ? And what is it?
All comments are appreciated
Thank you.

Looks like corrosion of sorts.

Oyster perpetual date 34mm with significant corrosion would be my guess.

Just a regular DJ stick marker dial.

Not a DJ, a 'Date'. Likely ref 1500. Dial is trashed but there are vintage sellers who could come up with a fancy name for it and charge a premium.

That is the super rare gold vein wood beetle dial. Only a few were ever made for special clients. Im sure that if it hit a Phillips auction it would bring an absolute fortune!

It looks like the reflection to the dial when you take a picture in the jungle.

What do you know about the watch? Whose watch is it? How did you come across it?

I'd be really worried that whatever did the damage to the dial also affected the movement. And if not yet that the paint chips will do damage. Run-away while you can.
