Simply stunning, think that might be a big call and probably would make you feel bad if you worked at Rolex in the dial department. Different for sure but probably not what I would wear by choice.

Interesting indeed, as it looks like it snuck out of the factory!

If I understand it correctly. This dial was never meant to be cased... only fitted to the 4130 for COSC testing purposes.

Would doubt if that's little more than a photoshop as when they test at the COSC only the bare uncased movement is tested.Not even original hands dial or even a winding rotor is on movement.Now special dials hands are fitted that allow the movements being tested to be read by time lapse cameras linked to a central computer.Now for the vast amount of movements tested by Rolex they have there own machine there.The bare uncased movements are loaded into racks like bullets in a magazine and wound up by the machine daily over the 15 days of testing.Plus there would not be any need for the chrono function dial as that is not the purpose of COSC testing.

Looks like a Nomos' take on the Daytona.
