Does this dial look like an original diamond dial?

Just curious to know if this is a factory dial or? I believe it came out of a 16238.

anyone care to chime in?

Don't know the answer but as soon as I zoomed, I noticed the SWISS print is partially covered by the diamond setting. Is that how the factory would do it?

Looks awful to me. Gold plots around the diamonds are too big, and the DATEJUST and ROLEX look like my 6 y/o kid wrote them.

Why do you ask? Are looking to pay money for a watch with that dial?

See the hypertexted threads below; the Diamond settings look off for certain. The Jubilee Anniversary dial which is embossed likely started off as a regular Rolex dial but looks modified.

Yes it is factory but it looks like the Rolex and datejust plaque has been touched up

I have two and from your phot' it looks like the gold around the diamonds is too thick. Might be wrong but be careful.

Thanks for the heads up.
It is already mine at this point. I got the entire movement...
