And if this is indeed a legit, super rare GMT dial, why on earth would someone separate it from the original watch?

Why...because it isn't. I've been reading this thread and the whole thing is conjecture. Nothing substantive at all. Another watch with a story not unlike many watches being marketed the past few years.

Thanks to everyone who commented.

Glad this had a positive outcome for you, at the end of the day I think this is what everyone was hoping would occur.

This sort of deal does reflect on the seller, if you purchased this from a car boot sale (yard sale for those in the US!) then it would well be worth investigating, but buying from another vintage Rolex collector begs the question of why sell as a franken watch..

It seems to me you purchased the watch with rose tinted glasses hoping for a super rare piece..

Glad you got your money back..

Look forward to seeing it back for sale with a double signature Tiffany logo in the near future.
