Rolex with odd dial
I came across this Rolex with a very odd dial. At first I would have assumed a poor attempt fake but I was able to remove the case back to discover an original Rolex cal. 1530 movement. The dial Rolex font appears correct but very very small. There is no other print found. Given the 1530 movement I was thinking perhaps it was a pre-precision print air king but I thought those were only steel cased. This appears to be 18k. The engraving on the inside case back looks appropriate. On closer inspection the finish on the dial and hour markers look excellent. Maybe a poor redial? But why? It’s so different as to not even look original which makes me think it may have been purposeful. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Pictures to follow…
