But how do you know it's a factory original dial ?

For someone that professes to be knowledgeable in the watch business, you should know the answer to the question you've asked before hand. As such, I'm truly to the point of believing that you are not as you say you are.

I'm pretty sure he's not a watchmaker.

That was almost heartbreaking to read. Steve M. was so watch literate and talented when it came to watch knowledge. To see him go over life's cliff as he did saddens me almost as badly as losing JJ.

Because almost 8 years ago I asked questions about a Tudor I wasn't sure about! At that time I hadn't seen many .

My question was directed at yourself so my knowledge doesn't come into things , when a rhetorical question is asked . How any watchmaker or expert could tell a genuine Rolex base dial has been used when it is mounted on a watch I don't know which is why I posted this addition to this thread but for some reason you seem to want to defend the practise without any correct logical argument and get slightly personal over it too . Thanks.
