Wow, what a dial!!
Ah, but, "All of the watch’s components were manufactured by Rolex, including the dial which has Rolex stamping and hallmarks on its backside. What is unclear, ultimately, is whether or not the dial left the factory with its purple hue and Asprey co-branding or if the colour and signature were later added by a customiser." That doubt is a killer. If Rolex made the change: fantastic. If someone else just swapped-in a different Rolex dial, then this loses 90% of its appeal for me. And without proof, I'd presume the latter. |

For me: no.
But you've just made me realize something: I don't know whether Rolex release fully-finished, Tiffany-stamped dials, or whether Rolex give watches to Tiffany and it's Tiffany who stamp the dials. |

It’s a good question. It opens a whole new level of what customisation is acceptable.

Rolex and Tiffany had a co branding deal of some sort. In the early years of that deal, Tiffany themselves handwrote and later stamped the dials. Then at some point, Rolex began stamping the Tiffany name on the dial themselves. Unfortunately, sometime in the 90s, Rolex stopped stamping Tiffany and refused to service watches that would be stamped by Tiffany themselves, supposedly because they didn’t want any other brand’s name on their dials anymore. I have a feeling there’s more to it than that. In response, Tiffany stopped selling Rolex in their retail stores, and the rest is history.

Well unless it was authorised by Rolex themselves and have the paperwork to conform this would not touch it with a 10 Ft barge pole.IMHO it's no longer a Rolex but a Frankenstein watch and doubtful if Rolex would service it.

Showed my magical Muse, she said it's her favorite color and loves it. Can you get it for her please. She won't mind whatever provenance it may or may not have.
Thx, you're the best!

Wow, that's certainly special. I've never seen such a color on a watch before. I dig it!

Cool color but is it like a Tiffany signed dial, or a Bamford like custom?
$70-100K seems like wishful thinking. |

Today, it'll end up selling for more. So that this buyer will later say, look! it sold for $120k, and a year later he'll try and offload it for $200k. smh

That dial colour belongs on a kid's bedroom wall, not on a Daytona.

Even I wouldn’t want that one, and I own a deep purple dial watch, though not a Rolex.

This aftermarket custom has no more value than bamford or other.

I was just in the Rolex Reference sub forum. I didn’t realize it but looks like Asprey been doing it for a long time.
Maybe someone who appreciates the Asprey brand. |
