DJ Dial
HI all, I posted this in the vintage forum as well but thought I would post here as well. After seeing fellow member Sam Crows beautiful 16014 earlier this week it inspired me to look at the same piece my local jeweler has for sale. I have attached a picture. The question I have is the hour batons at six and nine are thicker than the rest. Not sure if this is a concern. I don't need the watch to be 100% original, but definitely needs to be a Rolex dial. Also my wrist is 7,25 inches, I had concerns this would be too small but I think it looks ok, especially for a dress watch. Would appreciate your feedback on that as well. Many thanks everyone.

It's hard to tell by that picture but I don't recall ever seeing a Rolex DJ dial with the larger 6 and 9 markers...I have a similar baton dial on mine and all the markers are the same size.
I'm sure other experts here will know more... |

...I might stand corrected already. I did a quick google search and I've seen a few dials on 16014s that look like they have larger 6 and 9 batons..

Not an expert by any means but I believe this was a dial offered in the 1980s or so. And, I think it looks fine on you.

Yes I've seen that dial on the watches from that period. It looks like a great DJ!!!

Markers called 'door stop triangle', popular in DJ and DD in the late 70's/early 80's
