Err buddy Anthony...Welcome...!

The features of the Dial...are looking similar to the early RSC service dial...
What is the watch case serial #?...???,xxx...(1st 3 digits is sufficient)

But...please post a closeup macro shots of the Rolex Coronet...SWISS-T<25...
n the Small All Red 24hr GMT Hand...
to see if indeed in Silver GILT or not...

It looks OK to me but I am not sure about the silver writing. If it is a fake it's is a darn good one. JMHO =) maverick

Please take better pictures in natural light and post. I am over 80% that the dial is good based on the pictures you have posted but to be 100% we really need better pictures.The small all red 24 hour hand is not something you see everyday.

Err buddy Anthony...thanks for additional pics...

But would you be able to post a close up picture of the All Red Small Arrow?

As buddy Mike has amply pointed out...it's a RSC Service Matte Dial...
with all plots in...White paint...

Please humor my ignorance here, but can someone explain what a "service dial" is? Is it a dial that was replaced by RSC? and if so, how can you tell?
Thanks!

An original dial will say, "Swiss". A service dial will have the "T Swiss-<25", meaning a service dial replaced the original. The silver writing and minute track dial looks wonderful. JMHO =) maverick
