Nothing quite like a beautiful gilt dial....
Nothing quite like a beautiful gilt dial!! I just got her back fresh and serviced from the Bob Ridley Spa!! Oh how she was missed--although her siblings got more wrist time!! Just took off original 7206 rivet and put on a brand new 93150 bracelet. Thanks Bob and Watchmakers International!!! You are the best!!

Gorgeous! I cannot figure out why Rolex stopped producing such dials after 1966 or so.

That´s a beauty Connor!!
Fantastic restoration work too. I´d love to see it with a riveted Oyster bracelet! Yes, I know they are weaker than more modern versions, but they have a so lovely look! Enjoy it in good health! Kind regards, Abel.

Gilt--use of gold lettering on dial. While most use gold in defining gilt--it can actually be silver a well. So--really it is the use of precious metals in lettering on vintage dials.
