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.
