Joyeria Riviera -- legit?

I would greatly appreciate any insights, guidance, observations, on the originality and authenticity of this posted joyeria riviera for sale. Dial look right? Replacement?

Thank you!

Give it some time, have patience. It isnt a Tiffany or Comex dial so it may be a bit for someone to come forward with info.

Might be better with an actual shot of the watch instead of a picture of a screen. After google searching, I'm assuming it's this listing?

The seller is Matthew Bain in Miami. He is very knowledgeable with vintage watches to include Rolex. I would direct your questions to him.

the condition is rather stunning considering it's from the 1950s. It's beautiful, but I would have trouble paying a premium if it's being sold as all original (not refinished) without an enormous amount of history/ownership of the watch.

Yes I have, but I'm hoping to get thoughts and impressions from the experts here unbridled by the conflict of trying to sell me something.

Yes that's it. Thoughts on originality of the dial?

The jewelry store it is referencing is located on Miracle Mile in Miami. My parents were big shoppers there in the 80's.

Sorry that shop referenced in the listing is in Puerto Rico: http://joyeriariviera.com

As for the dial it does appear original on the surface but until it's in your hands you can't be spcertain. The custom logo from Joyeria Riviera is not adding value IMHO - they are no longer a Rolex AD.
