Help with Rolex Explorer 14270 Dial
Hi all,
First post here, and I’m embarrassed that it’s pertaining to this subject, but I’m hoping some Rolex experts here can help me with my predicament. I recently purchased a used Rolex Explorer 14270 S470*** serial from a reputable dealer locally. I’ve enjoyed wearing it immensely but have come to find that it seems to have certain peculiar characteristics not found on other examples, that I didn’t pick up on at the time of purchase. 1. No white / black filling in the 3-6-9 Arabic numeral markers. Instead, they are similar to that of the 214670 (ie. full white gold). 2. “SWISS-T<25” All other examples I’ve found have “T Swiss-T<25” instead. I’ve attached a photo of the watch for you guys to have a look. My worst fear now is that it’s not an original dial. Further complicating these is that even though it’s a tritium dial, the dealer did mention that the baton markers have been re-lumed (not by RSC). Hoping some knowledgeable folks on here can shed some light |

The dial is a fake I’m afraid.

The dial as others have said is 100% fake, I am dubious about the hands also as the hour marker pointer lume doesn't curve round the circle it has straight line it is difficult to tell from your picture with regards to the hands. The dial is fake though. Pictures of the back of the watch and the crown and the lugs of the watch would be helpful to see if there is anything else wrong.

Dial is fake, is the rest of the watch genuine?
