Is there any way to know if these dials are... Aftermarket... or Original.. from the images? How could I find out.. some engraving on the back of the dials?

What would be a good deal to pay for the 2 dials and the bezel?
Thanks...

The mop probably not the champaign looks ok Rikki Originally MOP are special order only from Rolex and are not sold as a dial swap from Rolex IE if the watch didn't come originally from Rolex for your watch you can not but one from Rolex. There are many aftermarket MOP dials and in my opinion most are crap, I don't work on any aftermarket MOP watches or any other dials for that matter.

I agree,

the MOP is aftermarket but the arabic #'s is original.

no te se decir Eduardo... for me they look fine

Being a big fan of Arabic-marker Datejust's, I have to say that I think the champagne dial with Arabic numbers is an aftermarket. As far as I know, Rolex does not make a men's radial Arabic dial with a smooth field (aka background), only the Jubilee with the "ROLEXROLEXROLEX" in the field, or the newer Concentric dials. the only smooth field Arabic dials I've seen are where the numbers are straight up and down all around the dial, and not "radial" like the one pictured.

I might be totally tripping and wrong, but I'd sure like to be corrected so that I could learn something new.

The seller was asking 400 for all... Probably too much?

Are they mens or ladies?

moviefreak · 12 November 2009, 07:12 AM

Ladies.. and the seller said they were Genuine Rolex Dials.... but you never know..

Juggernaut · 13 November 2009, 06:17 AM

Well, if they are ladies, then I might have to reverse my opinion on what I said about the Arabic dial. I'm not as familiar with the Ladies varieties available, just Men.

Eduardo, they both look genuine to me. Look for the Singer engraving on the back.

I was just looking at an eBay listing for the blue datejust dial I've been looking for. It's listed as real, and it includes a photo of the back which is stamped "ROLEX" with a coronet on each side. Some other listings don't show the stamp on the back. Any significance to the stamp on the back?
I'd hate to pay several hundred bucks for a Chinese copy, but this is the only dial I've found that is what I want.

On what I've seen and know it should say SINGER and not Rolex. Anyone else out there wanting to chime in?

Just because the dial is stamped Rolex, Singer, Bayer, ect, doesn't make it a genuine Rolex dial as many real Rolex dials are simply redialed copies(changed color, added diamonds, ect.)

So if the stamping on the back doesn't matter. How do you identify the real thing?
