ubiquitous Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Difficult to say, really. Authentications must be done using a loupe to inspect the printing as well as the lume for the tell tale indications of age to really authenticate as original. To my eye, the dial looks good, all the fonts line up with where they're supposed to, except the the T SWISS T, which seems a little squished between the minute track and the 6:00 subdial. I have, however, seen a few examples where this is also evident on some genuine watches owned by well educated collectors, so this is probably not an issue. The coronet looks legit, and overall the dial looks correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I did find it interesting, however, that he lists the dial as intended for a 6238 Pre-Daytona and a 6241; both of which were Non-Oyster models with pump pushers and Twinlocks. That being the case, I'd think that this Oyster signed dial would be more fitting for a 6263/5... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsupilami Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 the index markers are a bit too fat, aren´t they ? like on almost all aftermarket dials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Indicies look okay to me. I've seen markers like that on some legit 6263's. At first glance, they did look a little wide... But I think it might have been my eyes playing tricks on me; the angled portions of the markers are kind of masked by the shadow and lack of light which gives them a shorter, wider appearance.

Sherrington Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I dunno....... I think the screws are in the picture as a foretaste of how you'll view this $1600 dial after the fact... You mean "screwed in your ring?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
