They might have damaged the matte dial by accident and replaced it with a service gloss. They may have determined the tritium was crumbling and getting in the movement so they justified changing it...

They can give you a thousand reasons why they did it but, now that the dial is gone its gone for good. They dont return parts or keep them, from what I hear. You have no recourse, they have the right to change whatever they want at RSC for any reason.

Sorry for your loss and let this thread be a lesson to any vintage Rolex owner.

NEVER HAVE YOUR VINTAGE ROLEX SERVICED AT RSC OR AUTHENTICATED OR APPRAISED. They create fictitious issues so that they can replace parts and generate service repairs.

Wise advice!
