Drunk Wimbledon Dial, AKA Serena Willams Special

[daveswordfish]

All for it, OP, if it makes u happy . It would bother me to no end, though. Like a painting that’s hung askew…

dial layout for 116333 and 126333 is different - mine is a 116333.

Each to our own.

For what it's worth, I like error dials, thus I will keep mine and NEVER allow Rolex to touch it, as they will replace the dial and it'll kill the watch for me.

As far as Explorer dials, I never understood double 3 or double 9s, as anyone at any time can make this dial by replacing applied markers. In the case of this Wimbledon, this error can only be made by the factory.

I am certainly not buying that

Here’s my DJ41 in SS

Could the dial be spun? Maybe it was serviced and not put together correctly?

I, personally, would want that fixed, if I bought the watch new and if I were to notice that before I plunked down the money, I would move on.

However, since you did notice it and and you liked it enough purchase it, I say more power to you.

I would note that absolute perfection is not mandatory for me to purchase a watch, but I think that particular error would bother me.

Agree. I buy Rolex for the perfection of design/execution of that design. Even if this watch is real I wouldn’t touch it with a 10’ pole..

I wouldn’t wear that if the chapter ring was perfect.

I have one with a correct dial but a triple 888 serial number.

Waiting for a Chinese billionaire to make me an offer I can’t refuse.

I think its replica.

It’s a weird purchase. I would probably just buy a perfect version vs an error dial that will never be remembered. This is the first I’m hearing of a drunk dial. Sounds like another seller ploy to pull in a buyer, which they did.

I would be suspicious that dial is aftermarket

Look how thin the print is on the white letters, especially the word Datejust

Also the green numerals should be really thick & stand off the dial

Heres a pic of my dial for comparison

" swiss made " - in wrong location . No crown between swiss & made etc

I'd have this watch checked out thoroughly
