Your advice is asked, is this 1655 dial original?
Hi Guys, I've been on watch forums for years but I've never been an active member but now I need your help to identify a dial and its originality. Shortly before Christmas I bought this 1655 dial from Catawiki, the experts from Catawiki classified it as an original. Even so, it looks fake in my eyes (rather, I'm 100% sure it's fake) and even of poor quality. Still I want to hear your opinion, original or Fake?

Just to confirm, you already bought this dial, and understood that the feet were filed off ?

It looks very similar to my 1655 service dial. Not sure if you’re will grow in dark.

It's fake; everything is wrong on this dial. From the font to the positioning of them. Also, Mk 7 service dial is on a Bayeler plate and not a Singer plate. |

I've already written to Catawiki support twice but still haven't received a response. I am curious what the catawiki experts will answer.

I love the Singer marking on the reverse. Looks like someone did it with a hammer and chisel lol

The dial is fake, the experts at Catawiki should be ashamed to have overlooked such an obvious fake dial!

Catawiki has confirmed that the quality of the dial is not as described and they will refund the money. But they are still of the opinion that it is a genuine Rolex service dial as described by the seller.

It's not original, but as soon as I get my money back, I don't care!
