Nice and congrats!
But the depth rating 'ft' stroke are aligned and doesn't seems like a maxi 1 to me. Maybe the experience bros can chime in! |

Dial does not look correct to me. There are other concerns as well.

Fake/Reprint
Sorry, dial is not correct - the 'U' in 'OYSTER PERPETUAL' is not aligned with the bottom right foot of the 'X' in 'ROLEX' above it, and the font style and spacing of this specific body of text is incorrect. It may also be lack of focus, but it appears the '=' sign in 660ft = 200m is a '-' instead. The '-' in 'f' and 't' in the '660ft' are not aligned but are also not the correct spacing up & down. Finally, the 'SUBMARINER' font style is of a later 5mil + dial but the overall font style and font size of the 4-liner body of text below is too large for this 3.3mil case. Overall, at best a reprinted original dial (should be stamped with the SINGER hallmark and words behind) or at worst a completely fake dial.
Case does appear correct. 558B endlinks incorrect, should be 580 instead. Bracelet and clasp appear original. Insert pearl is aftermarket. |

Total fake dial, not even a redial.
Compare to mine:
