Just wait till the sellers zoom into this MK1 MK11 internet stuff with words like super rare MK1 at premium prices. I remember well the so called mistake or stick dial GMTs that supposed to have the 3186 movement inside. Many paid silly money for them but many still have the 3185 in the case and all it was just a simple font change like the hundreds of others over the past decades. Same for all the MK stuff with the dials, seeing dials are still made in 3 different factories now all owned by Rolex, there always have been and always have been tiny variations to most all Rolex dials over the past 50 odd years. But where there is hype over these miniscule details, hype sells Rolex watches today to many willing to pay most times crazy prices for in the real world hyped miniscule cosmetic details.
