I need a new (used dial) for my 1967 precision. I have come up with this and want your opinion please. Is it an original and what year/decade would it be from. Thanks in advance.

I’m certainly no guru but looking at the position of the crown (see how wonky it is in relation to the minute markers) it doesn’t look very original Rolex to me. In fact there’s something odd about the whole look, almost like it’s a Timex dial or something.

Printing is also wonky

It comes from a trusted seller on crono 24 who guarantees its authenticity ie not a repainted. But I’d love more imput. Thank you uncleluck for your assessment

Ok, well I wouldn’t be so sure as to me it looks off. Just googling 1967 precision shows much nicer printing (finer on the precision & a difference on the Rolex Oyster text too)

Just looks like generic printing to me and the fact the crown isn’t in the right place too...

Looks ok to me.

It's original. Got some corrosion on the markers though.

There you go, I’d have lost that one! Just to add this is why I didn’t like the printing (so you can at least see the method in my madness)

I know there’s always variants on printing it just looked too chunky and ‘times new roman’ to me as everything I found was finer on the ‘precision’

The crown being off centre just had me on the offensive I guess! Not exactly a tiny amount (although the crown itself looks perfect) Although after I saw that I noticed a few the same as that.

This is the sort of thing I was comparing.

Anyway, apologies but at least you have two solid answers. Good luck!

Your opinion is much appreciated thank you for your efforts as well now to determine what date”ish” it’s from. ? 60’s would be perfect.

If you let us know the serial number between the lugs at 6 o'clock we can get you a kinda specific range.
