60ies Gold Rolex - Genuine Dial?
Dear Forum members,
I found this watch and I am thinking of purchasing it. I've noticed the word "datejust" on the dial is not parallel to "oyster perpetual" in the line above. It makes me wonder if this is a hand painted after dial. Do you think this is an original dial? Have you seen this before? I would appreciate your feedback! |

Welcome to the Forum. Barring a better picture, I would say redone. Some sloppiness on the letters CHRONOMETER CERTIFIED, and on... These dials are not expensive, you can always get it swapped out. |

Yes a repaint - I'd pass on it unless well under £2k...

Thank you for your feedback! I greatly appreciate it.
Unfortunately I can't upload a better picture. It's because the max image size is 270kb in this forum. |

eBay may have them upwards from £200 - if you look between the top lugs you'll have the model number - search using that.
