Rolex 1655 - help needed

[bobrowiec12]

Dear All,
i have the opportunity to buy this 1655...however, one concern I have is about the dial and more specifically about the patina which seems to be not "natural"...
I would appreciate to receive your help or any feedbacks before making the deal. thank you!!

the images look quite highly processed, ask the seller for some straight on shots in natural light without pulling up the contrast and saturation and you'll be a bit closer to what the patina really looks like

Agree with above.
The pic has likely been photoshopped a bit. I say this because the white text on the dial looks gold.
The dial is a mk3 or very rare rail dial 1655. Maybe ONE comes up for sale every year. The serial number is pretty close to what I would expect for that dial and the bezel is a nice correct Mk2 as well.

Good eye Beaumont Miller ll. I agree as well. If possible, I'd ask for a 3 day return policy (which most reputable sellers will agree to). Then have it sent to a reputable independent watchmaker that can go through the necessary steps of assuring what exactly it is or isn't.
