No lume dials are found with lume/no lume hands However, lume dials will definitely be with lume hands. I found this out after a bit of intense digging myself. Its a common misconception that no lume dial must have no lume hands. |

Link me to a single other example? The no-lume handset is much rarer and more desirable by collectors. It’s very plausible that your non-lume handset was harvested in order to complete another non-lume dial. Either way, it looks strange and it can get tiring explaining it to other collectors.

Just for my knowledge and all of the newbie watch enthusiasts. What makes the dial a service dial? Are there certain markings that says service dial? From what I am reading and been searching on the forums. A service dial is a Rolex replacement dial. Not a period correct to the watch. Just like getting bringing in your car for a brake job. It’s a OEM PART. Just not the brakes that come the factory line. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s a service dial or not. This watch has sentimental to me. Not trying to make a profit or sell it.

If you don’t care whether or not you’ve overpaid for your watch, understanding if your watch has a service dial is of no importance or significance to you.

Original in my interpretation means “as originally sold with the watch”. You are using the term as a synonym for authentic. Two very different things.

I didn’t purchase the watch. It was my father who passed it down to me. And I just would like to know a little bit of the watch that my father doesn’t know as he was the second owner of this watch and he had owned this for more then 30 years. I’m sure he didn’t know it had a a service dial.. so I’m glad you pointed it out to me that it does have a service dial. I just had it service at Rolliworks, and they never mentioned it has a service dial. They just serviced the movement. So thanks for pointing that out, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

But, I’d disagree with your point. There are a lot of buyers who want 100% original, as birthed watches. It makes a difference. |

Personally, and I only have one vintage which is a 1601, I want a watch to "look period correct". For some watches that may mean a service dial from a little later in the run, same with hands etc and the case as clean as sharp as possible. A 40 year old service dial on a 50 year old watch fits that bill for me but is not "original". I would also take a lightly polished but crisp case over a never polished but dinged case. Internals should be in working order but I don't mind having moving parts replaced if needed. Obviously I am never going to be buying the true "vintage" watches with this mindset... I guess if I was to make a car analogy then personally I would love a Singer Porsche and would likely take one over an original model that was kept in a barn for 50 years. That's just me though.

I’m not even sure I want it to be period correct. I define ‘period correct’, for example as, having to find a dial that was manufactured in the same year as the watch was manufactured. The same period. I have no interest in tracking that down. Instead, I’m fine with letting Rolex replace parts with current day manufactured service parts. This allows me to not worry about wearing my watches as daily worn watches. Something breaks, it gets replaced by Rolex. But, I do understand there are purist. I’m just not one of them. |

I’m having a black gator one made from Aaron Bespoke and may look for a brown option as well. |

If you wanted to say "as originally sold with the watch" then say the full phrase out. Thats the problem with a lot of buyers I feel. And then they get pissed when something is not "originally as sold with the watch". |

Maybe something like, "genuine Rolex replacement dial." Seems pretty easy and avoids any confusion. |

1601
Glad to hear they are headed up in value. Function largely of inflation and time IMO. I gave $1900 for a nearly perfect silver Tiffany dial 1601 head in 2009. Gave $650 for a mint jubilee a year ago. They make a nice set and I love the size of it. Looks like I can double my investment. Should have bought a pile of them when they were $1500 a pop.

If 1) I am not the original owner of the watch and 2) the dial is correct for the period and model, then how would I-or could I-ever know if “that dial” came in that particular watch from the factory. Utterly impossible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
