Buckley dial

anyone have a comment on a Buckley dial? I am interested if any one has become bored with the dial or luster has worn off. I think this is the easiest dial to read in bright and dim light. Is it as unique as blogs proclaim it to be??

The Buckley dial is simply gorgeous. My dream DD is a rose gold 1803 with this dial.

I dont think buckley or wide boy dials r unique, but they not as common as say stick dials.

I love them. My mom got one recently in a DJ since, as you mentioned, it's easy to see the time. I think they are really cool.

thanks to all that commented. The price on Buckley seems high for the watches that seem to carry the dial….16014, 1601 and 1603. These are good Rolex models, but damn if the price with special dials and especially the Buckley carry a high price in the low to mid 3's and with full set…upper $3's

Dont get me wrong i love buckley dials but most sellers would raise premium thinking they r rare. Just be patient the right one at the right price will come along. Good luck

That's a beauty.

I am looking to purchase an '84 16014 with a Buckley dial in 2015 to replace the one I got for college graduation and foolishly (and drunkenly) lost not long after.

Stupidity of youth . . .
