Explorer 1016 Question

I have an original Rolex 1016 but the previous owner had the dial painted blue. I intend to sell it. Would it be better to have a original black one installed or is it better to keep the blue one in, since it is original to the watch, or to have it painted back to black again? Anyone have any sound advice?

If you can find an original one it would be the better thing to do.

Of course. BUT be very careful. There are many fake 1016 dials out there and they're close, spooky close to an original
