What is wrong with the dial that I keep hearing about?

pwrslider · 27 June 2008, 02:40 PM

Are you talking about the different II or ll markings?? Other than that...there is nothing wrong.....

Tools · 27 June 2008, 02:40 PM

There is no mistake dial.

For some reason there was the rumor that the GMT with the ll font on the right was somehow a mistake.

How these rumors get started I'll never know:

Here's mine..

There's the II, ll, and a third that's a mix of the two. Obviously none are mistakes.

This one, however, is the really rare one:

Nothing wrong with it, IMO, it's a beautiful mistake.

Psst...just don't mention COKE to Tools, now that would be a mistake.

I don't like it, either.

Its a Rolex that looks just like a Breitling.

Probably the seller has been listing it in Ebay for the last 3 months and accumulated a sizable ebay listing cost after each listing that didn't sell.

The whole "mistake dial" thing is just hype. It's just a different font. Rolex is keeping it interesting by playing to the collectors a little bit.

Is Lawrence the first to really hype this up or is he picking it up from the collector market?
