Hello everyone,

I came across an auction next week with some Milsub Dials. Not something I would think of buying myself as I don't have a Milsub that needs a dial, but wondering what everybody thinks about them, are they real?

Here are the links and some pics:

Don't know. It's become such a minefield that I'd only buy from a known expert in the field, like Jedly, after they've had a good chance to inspect it in person.

Look At the crown on the single photo

Hmmm, they just happen to have two of the rarest and earliest milsub style dials in near perfect condition and an auction estimate of only 200-300 pounds for two of them!

In the single photo the T is very off centerEd. I don’t think rolex qc would have accepted that.

Top two look like 6538 replicas and the bottom one for a 5513, replica as well.

Really??

They look like correct Burford dial 6538s to me and a 6538 service dial with MOD added T....

Agreed, they’re genuine.

The single dial sold for £1100 & the pair for £2200, I guess the market didn’t think they were genuin.

Holy crap. I did not bid because they I suspected they would go 10K plus.

I believe they were genuine service dials from the early/mid 1960s.

Looked like burfords. Worth money of course but not really to much use for most people. Just something to hoard and resell.

Nickn · 22 January 2021, 09:26 AM

So the sloppy crown dial is correct for a burford?

It’s not a Burford as such that one it’s a MOD service dial
