The dial is a correct burford dial , a non Rolex manufactured dial that these watches were switched to in the early 60s by the mod ...
This vender is being somewhat "loose" with the truth then jed as im sure you would have advised him/her/them that the bezel was non original to the watch -
Im sure the vender would justify their discription by stating - THE BEZEL IS AN ORIGINAL ROLEX!!!
