I need your help with this 1803

[vlamp3445v]

hello guys I have been collectijg vintage watches, specially rolex and omega.

Today I went to a vintage watch store to pick up a nice 1803.

Then I saw this 1803 with no lume hands and no lume track dial. I have seen many different types of dial and hands in 1803.

but I have never seen this type of dial and hands. So I am asking for your expert advice.

Is everything here in 1803 original?

I also asked the seller if the dial is refinished, he said dial is 100% original, not repainted nor refinished. what do you think sir?

it is my first post here and I live in South Korea. please excuse my bad English.

Thank you very much for reading.

no not at all. That's why I was very suspicious about the watch.

I know t stands for tritium but I dont see any tritium in that watch.

hmmm

yeah, some say non lumed dial still say T because sometimes only the hands have lume

Don't know much about piedish President variations but they probably had a good range too, given the whole spectrum of piedish dials on 160X just about everything under the sun & beyond

I agree with you.

thank you for your honest opinion.

The no-lume dial and hands are sometimes called a 'dress' dial set. It is legit Rolex and the numbered markers are a bit rare and desirable.

Nice looking watch.

Yeah I’ve seen no-Lume dials before. It’s good.
