I wonder why this dial doesn't have the "Swiss Made" or the "T>25 Swiss ...." writing

on it?

From bernardwatch .. "circa 1988".

Looks like that watch has had the hands or the dial changed or both at some point. The patina doesn't seem to match up

Why refinish a dial that is possible to buy from Rolex?

Stay away IMHO, there are better ones out there.

There are a few things on this watch that dont add up to me...!
The crown and guards look funny,and rolex + coronet on dial look odd to me!! I would stay a long way away from this one...!
