Stained dial = deal breaker?

Hi guys

I'm looking to buy my first vintage Rolex Datejust. I found one that hits my criterias but there is a few stains on the dial. Would this be a deal breaker for most of you?

Thanks for the feedback,

You can see the stains between 1 and 2 o'clock

Better the wrinkles than the botox

Is it a deal breaker for you? If you like it, buy it, wear it, and enjoy it!

Depends on the price. If the price reflects the damage then go for it and pay to have a watch maker try to clean it. Or you can just wear it and enjoy it. Worst case scenario is find another dial. Datejust dials are quite common and easy to find.

Never turn down a good DJ over a dial, they are easily available for 150 up.

Depends on price and bracelet condition. If both rare good, replacing dial is easy.

unless one of the more obscure dials, case and bracelet more important to consider as dials are easily available.
