It has ended.

The dial is the key to the watch, everyone see's it first. Having one that has not be refinished would be a excellent choice. When the dial is refinished it is OK if you do not mind the lower value of the watch. Some Rolex dials cannot be replaced due to age and a refinished dial is the only way to go, then you have levels of refinished dials, ones that are valued in the thousands and are top quality finish, and then you have the not so top quality finish and the dials shows it.

Thanks safe trends. So I guess the dial is not really that top quality.

Look here on TRF we have several good sellers and they will help you find the Rolex you are looking for.

I would not it was not top quality I would say you can do better here on TRF, you can always buy and then do a dial change on it and it would not be anything major. Just remember the dial is the what people see on a Rolex.

Apologies if this is outside the scope of your original post, but can one of the knowledgeable members help me with some details I noticed (and question)? Does the serial # seem right (is it too high)? Refinished dial...maybe, but doesn't the crown on the dial seem out of place"? Again...hopefully any info you gain will help with your purchase decision. dlw
