does anyone know the definitive answer to their legality? I understand a refinished aftermarket plate being illegal, but how does a refinished original plate differ in terms of trademark? You are still stamping Rolex's name afterall...

A refinished dial on original plate is fake in case the markings related to the Trademark have also be redone.
