The so called shantung dials have been discussed some some time ago here

A couple TRF members stated the actual part number for the dial as 13/16008-8 . Google was unable to turn up anything with the part number alone.

Someone with the Rolex parts catalogue from that era might have more details.

How do I tag Alpino on this thread and ask for his help?
I saw that. That part number may be a red herring. The guy who has that dial says it looks normal, and it has Romans (I haven't seen any shantung or even linen dials with Romans). Maybe a different/incorrect use of the word? It's a province in China so maybe different meaning depending on context
