Hi John. One of the most comprehensive writeups on the gilt gloss Bart sub dials I've ever seen. Thanks.

Hello just one question. I have seen a few non Bart dials, like the one that is shown in the original post in 1,58M cases. Seems to be correct, isn't it?
Thank you very much for this tutorial!!! |

It's possible, but I would want to talk with the person selling it and consider the provenance.

Wow, very cool info. Thank you! As a newbie to vintage Rolex I'm learning the more I know and learn, the more there is to know and learn! So much minute details and info it's a bit overwhelming. As a new Rolex enthusiast with only a couple of, well not vintage, but less modern pieces, and who would like to add a vintage piece sometime very soon, I'd like to know more.
My humble collection thus far. 16800 and E series 16520, with i'm told a MK3 dial. |

Great post and thank you for providing the information. Very helpful as I have been looking for one for quite some time and this is a great reference to look back to. 1966 is my birth year and the "Bart" is my grail piece. Sooner or later I will acquire one....

Thank you Beaumont
It does have a minor flaw on the dial, but I“ve chosen to live with it. |

Here is my 1966 Submariner Gilt Bart Simpson Dial
It looks quite different in various light conditions.
It is 1.35 million series. [QUOTE=QueueCumber;5319369]It's probably worth noting that the gilt features of the Bart Simpson dials can get a bit wonky/fuzzy depending on the level of crazing. The paint/gloss on these generally have major crazing issues, but the crazing comes with a beautiful brown tropical hue in many cases. Here is a closeup of mine (bought from Christies private sales) that has a bit of wonkiness on the crown and lettering due to micro-crazing: |
