Someone sent me this link to check this Tiffany dial found on a late 1970s GMT 1675.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-TIFFAN...oAAOSwvg9XfBXH

Looks like an interesting GMT, especially since it is a service dial stamped Tiffany.

The seller states, "Original Tiffany & Co. co-signed black dial with uniform and pleasing patina on the hour markers and original hands. Date at 3 o’clock."

This is online with his business policy of fake dials.

Personally I'm not capable to determine if it's a service dial but John is our foremost expert on GMT's so his word is gold.

I am no expert on T&C dials, but that one looks like a fairly obvious fake to me (embellished factory dial?). The logo is completely wrong in font/size and shouldn't be as bold as the surrounding Rolex print.
At least that is how all of the known-genuine T&C dials I have seen appeared.

Hi... Can you explain what you mean regarding "This is online with his business policy of fake dials.?" As I'm typing this, I am thinking that you may have meant "in line" and auto-correct or speaking a different language could have changed your wording, or that maybe he has a written policy online about using fake dials. Just looking for clarification. I'm interested to see what the end verdict is on this dial. Thanks.

Sorry... not trying to be the grammar police. I get accosted by auto-correct all the time on my phone and totally understand that English is not the first language for the majority of the population of the world.

I know almost less than zero about vintage GMT and would love to learn more but this is what jumped out at me. Would there be such thing as a Tiffany service dial?

If Tiffany took it in for servicing and the customer's dial was damaged they might stamp a service dial. But IMHO they wouldn't change their silk screen mask to replace the iconic Tiffany trademark logo with what we see in that listing.
