Likewise, during our telephone conversation, they would not confirm or deny that the dial is legit. I still believe that it’s authentic and made by their supplier then, Eggli-Weibel. Nevertheless, it was well worth the risk for me despite the verdict. Just happy to get my watch back soon after more than 2 years of waiting. I am flying to Geneva this October to pick it up.

Can’t wait to see the final product! Amazing patience…

The final product? It will be exactly the same. They refused to work on it.

Always the contrarian, granted. BUT...I'd still have this watch (see Gerhard and others comments over on VRF), over say a tritium service dial version at c £15k.

Leaving for Europe this October 13 for Paris, Brussels, Luxembourg, Basel and my last leg, Geneva. Picking up my watch and will definitely ask the Heritage Department many questions and hopefully i can get some answers as to how they arrived at their conclusion about the dial.

What an interesting journey this thread has been! Hopefully Rolex gives some more answers as to why they declared it non original.
