I am thinking about upgrading my mid 90's 16613 blue to a new 116613LB. While searching around, I decided to go onto Rolex's website and download their e-brochure. As I was scanning through the various pages I discovered that printed on the dial, the word CERTIFIED was spelled "CERTIFIFD".... I'm not sure why but thought it to be interesting.

good spot!

beer · 6 September 2015, 10:50 PM

interesting

their pictures are heavily photoshopped i wonder if the real dial is misprinted or if they just made an error while editing

It happens. A couple of years ago Panerai advertised a watch made of Stainless Steeel.

Jwg3113 · 6 September 2015, 10:53 PM

Hi Beer,
I was thinking the same thing. I'm Surprised no one at Rolex picked up on it

Jwg3113 · 6 September 2015, 11:35 PM

Thanks AS1

brandrea · 6 September 2015, 11:36 PM

Did the tail of the E fall off or is it a misprint .....

watchwatcher · 6 September 2015, 11:42 PM

Huh...interesting.

Jhquek · 6 September 2015, 11:54 PM

It's the same for the 116618LB.

It is a rare variant so valuable that the Comex Subs look cheap in comparison.

(It seems more likely to be a defective E, but it is hard to understand how it got by proofs of the ad.)

A simple print defect nothing more I remember quite a few years back think it was around 2000.A few watches were upside down plus there was a price rise but was showing the old retail prices they were soon withdrawn.

Yes good catch, just shows your attention to detail.

Jwg3113 · 7 September 2015, 01:49 AM

Thanks!

It's more likely a brochure misprint since they photoshop out imperfections and not a dial misprint.

GB-man · 7 September 2015, 03:27 AM

Not as unusual as you may think. I've spotted similar photoshop errors on AP website.

Good eye for detail you have,

They may have cloned the text in photoshop and not noticed. They see the text all the time so they never read it.

Howe · 7 September 2015, 11:44 AM

can this be like highly collectible watch or something? like if there was an error print on a money, it would be worth a bit more in value?

toolr · 7 September 2015, 11:54 AM

I wonder who "certififd" the picture?
