Something fishy....
OK so here's what happened; I just had this new dial put on my no-date sub, and after inspecting it closely am no longer sure if it's genuine. Does it look strange to you?












...Sorry JJ. I just couldn't resist.

This may be what you get instead of a ceramic bezel as Baselworld next year!

It's been a while since the 14060 got a face lift.

Sorry, I don't see anything funny. All I see is a no-date Sub. What the hell am I missing here?

That is the latest anti-counterfeiting measure. It will soon appear on all new Rolex dials. In twenty years we will all be talking about JJ dial variations.
