Help needed on a 18238 Vignette Dial
Hi guys
I have recently been offered the chance to acquire a nice Rolex 18238 President Day Date with a Blue Vignette Dial. Everything seems to check out except for some lingering doubts of the dial. The reason why I have some doubts about the dial is the consistence of the letterings, especially the "D" on the "Day-Date" text, as well as the word "CHRONOMETER" where the "C" seems to close to the "H" and the height of the entire word. In other words, I am wondering now whether the dial has been refinished. That said, when the seller brought this to a grey dealer shop and the owner of the shop even praised the condition of the dial. I would therefore like to seek the collective wisdom of the experts here to see what you guys think about the dial please? Thanks all in advance. |

Looks good to me as well. If you want to be 100% sure and you dont trust the seller just meet him at RSC in Singapore. They will tell you immediately.

Thanks for the advise. You are right in the sense that one can go to RSC with the pretext of sizing the bracelet and they will reject to do the job if it is a fake. But I also understand that they might still proceed if the dial is original but refinished..... Which is what I am trying to ascertain... whether it has been refinished. |
