1675 Mk 1 dial: Any concerns with this? What's it worth?

[tadmcmichael]

How much does the "possible vintage relume" hurt the value? I do need the Mark 1 dial.

It might make a difference to some here if it were if fact re-lumed, but it looks very nice and appears to have been properly applied if it is re-lumed.

Personally, it wouldn't bother me if it is re-lumed. I'd rather have a properly re-lumed dial on one of my GMT's than some of the beat-up, scratched or "tropical-damaged" dials that I see.

I'd want to see a pic of the backside of the dial before proceeding further.

Just to make sure its authentic or to better judge its condition?

And what do you guys think its worth? I don't ever plan on selling the watch, so I guess a relume shouldn't bother me. If it was done, looks like it was done well.

These dials seem to run anywhere from $500 to $1,000. Price is based on condition, dial color etc.

Actually, the dial and the lume look OK. I believe it's against forum etiquette to discuss prices

TRF gets a lot of "What's it Worth" threads, "My Grandfather just died..." and other assorted veiled attempts to sell or offers for sale in the General Discussion Board.

It takes fewer than 5 minutes to research almost any Rolex model and find what they are being sold for across the Internet. You are urged to search the Forum Sales Board if you are seeking an estimate of value for your watch, or search the Internet for prevailing values. TRF is neither a shopping service for you, nor is it a valuation service as value varies widely depending on condition and local economies..

Your post requesting value, or any other post that appears to be a solicitation for sale will be removed.

Moderators will make the final decision if the Thread has merit and can remain and may, without discussion, edit the Thread to meet TRF guidelines.

Thanks for the help. I am putting in an offer for the dial.
