UmpaHimself Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmpaHimself Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 BTW that issue with the M in Chronometer is just dust. Just wiped it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 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?

bobandshawn Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I would not be happy with that relume at 12, 6, and 9... B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Yep, the dial is good, but the relume sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
