Kind of surprising... A piece of Rolex history gets overlooked, where an update on a sold modified DSSD gets much fanfare Hmmmm...

King, is that a real PN or one of your aftermarket modified dials that you are known to be a seller of??

Reason why I am asking, is that I have only seem modified watches posted from you so I am wondering of the authenticity of that watch and dial.

Another thing Kingster.

When are you going to get your ass in gear and Pledge 2012.

Hopefully that's subtle enough.

This would be a 'real' Newman dial

as for the authenticity of the watch... I bought in an alley in chinatown... and just added the dial
