spaghettiman Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's not bold. The 2 o' clock marker is upside down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 That 2'o'clock marker is definitely upside down. And shouldn't the dial have markings T Swiss - Swiss T? Just a wild guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sashwatch Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 sub dials are close together.. but too bad, the pic too blur to see whether the sub dial has correct marking.. but definetly the 2oclock index is SOOO WRONG! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 copper colored rings around the subdials? The lume area in the middle of the dial indices seems very thin? The coffee colored/faded sub dial rings are an anomaly amongst certain serials (W, T etc.). These 'imperfections' were a result of the paint/varnish having an adverse effect to the sun, causing them to darken. Most of these dials were replaced by Rolex Service as an imperfection; very few remain with their original dials unchanged (hence making them very rare). One specific example that sold in the Mondani auction went for 44,000 CHF. That 2'o'clock marker is definitely upside down. And shouldn't the dial have markings T Swiss - Swiss T? Just a wild guess. The T SWISS MADE T dial is correct (1996 production with a T serial). Rolex didn't swith to Luminova until I believe the U or A serial range. This Rolllie is a genuine piece, but what the h*ll happened to that 2 o'clock marker Manufacturing defect?? Hard to say. The seller is well known and with a good reputation; I don't think he'd go out of his way to fake a dial. And, it's not the first time something like this has happened with regards to a flaw getting past Rolex QC either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkatbamna Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Well, on TZ someone bought a TOG that didn't have "Turn-O-Graph" printed on the dial so it is possible that things like that get past the qc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Pugs... I present to you, the perfect companion to your watch... It's obviously a rep: it declares 'CAZZOMIR' while it clearly is a Luminor model. PENIRAI, as suggested by Oswald, would have been a much better choice. And a more international one, too, 'cazzo' being an exclusively Italian word... Exceptional finding, I too want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
