Is this mid-size Speed King dial original?
I have posted this watch before on this forum, but the pictures were not great. So, I hope these are more clear. The dial has a nice silver luster that is tough to capture with a smartphone camera... I understand that the hands are not the proper ones for this dial.
I would love to hear what you guys think. The lettering looks original to me compared to other Rolex dials that I know to be original. But what do I know?!!! |

I have not seen a brushed steel dial from this era before. So, I would lean to redone dial

thanks for your reply MILGAUSS88... I would tend to agree with you. That is why i am wondering if this was a replacement dial of some sorts because the lettering looks factory (at least to me through a loupe).

Looks redone to me. The second hashs and Swiss at the bottom of the dial look off.

I question if this was even an original dial, let alone redone.
I do not remember ever seeing an engraved coronet in a dial. It looks laser etched to me. |

Nice looking. But I would be shocked if it was original.
