Special Dial

[2careless]

Hi, please take a look at this Oman DJ. I'm a little sceptical about it - the lume at 5 o'clock looks flawly placed. Also, the "T SWISS T" font looks a bit thinner than the ones usually signed. Last, the mag seems a bit too small but maybe it's angle.
Description said it's Ref 16013 c.1980 with rapid date change, plexi glass.
What do u think?

Why wouldn't there be lume at #12 as well. Makes no sense. It looks like the patina at #5 is different than the rest of the dial. It could be a refinished dial. The watch looks real enough but that is just my opinion. What's the asking price?

Thanks. I have checked several books and never seen a lume applied at #12 when the Rolex crown is also at #12. The asking price is approx USD4k from a respectable dealer. I think the only way is to ask RSC to authenticate as they keep track of every "special version" case number in their database.

Thx Kai

I also looked in to it after my post and you are 100% correct. I just thought it was kind of odd to not have lume at the 12 spot. It is a pretty looking watch. Hope it's real.
