Gatchaman Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I just received my Rolex Datejust dial and would like to know more about it. It has the name 'SINGER+SINGER+SINGER' engraved across the back. I know the 'T Swiss T' means Tritium and I think this designation was used up until around 1985(?).

JoJo35 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 FAKE Haha, just kidding Nice datejust dial. They're still fairly common and inexpensive as far as rolex stuff goes. Have fun using it, are you building a franken? JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Nice looking dial, I didn't know tritium had that short of a life. Makes me glad I didn't get that high-dollar tritium front sight put on my Colt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Dial feet will tell you which model your dial is for. Feet at 6 and 11:30 are for the 1600 series of DJ's with the 1575 movement- till around 79-80. Feet at 7:30 and 2:30 fit the 16000 series and 16200 series. Singer dials are fairly early. I have a DJ dial w/ Beyeler on the back, it's for a 16000 DJ. Of course, dials for 16000 and 16200 are interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
