Rolex Dial Experts Needed

I just purchased this service set of a 1680 insert and dial. The dial looks a little different from what I expected. The surface of the dial kind of reminds me of the Yuki I just bought. Not as grainy as I expected. The white print definitely looks much better then Yuki though, much finer. The seller did not state this as a refinished dial, just as a service dial that had possibly been relumed. What do you guys think? Did I get a legit dial? The insert looks 100% gen service insert to me.

BTW that issue with the M in Chronometer is just dust. Just wiped it away.

insert looks good. dial print looks good.

what i think happened is the service dial is lumi even though it says tritium so they probably painted over it to get rid of the glow and did a terrible job, decided to cut their losses and sell it.

does the back of the dial have the rolex hallmark?

I would not be happy with that relume at 12, 6, and 9...

Yep, the dial is good, but the relume sucks!

That's not a service dial, it's a MKI dial, position of the L under the coronet gives it away.

Newer Service dials will just have the word SWISS
Older service dials will have T<25 but the position of the L is far left of the coronet. 

Regardless the lume job on the dial and hands are no good.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to have an excellent relumer next door (Kenny) tackle it. Hopefully it will be looking much better soon. The seller included those hands, they weren't mentioned in the eBay listing. Idk if they are for a Rolex cal or what but I'm using Clark ETA hands
