Hello guys I came across this piece for sale.
Rolex OP 1952 ref 6103 , 1952 the seller tells me.
It seem to be on a aftermarket strap and no box or papers.

What do you think its worth,
Is the dial refurbished you think ?

This is the pics seller provides, it looks like a nice little piece.
Any thoughts ??

We would need better photos of the dial. And maybe you can tell us the asking price.

Welcome to the Forum!

Definitely need a closer picture. But I'll comment that the dial looks as bad as the quality of the picture you posted.

90% sure this is a redial

Maybe, but the photo is so tiny and suffers from such severe compression artifacts, who can say? The OP should make more of an effort to post a better photo. Using a cropping tool would be a good start.

Repainted dial at best - wouldn't bother tbh.

Its very rare to come across a dial from this era that wasn't redone. Its just the way it was back then.
If the repaint was done tastefully, it wouldn't bother me in the least because trying to procure an untouched dial will be near impossible.
If you do find an untouched dial for this watch, it will most likely cost you more than you pay for the watch itself.

Watches with original dials may be rare, but that's why we hunt for them. I would have zero interest in a vintage Rolex with a repainted dial.

You may be searching a long time then

Yes, I have been. And I've found a lot of watches with original dials, including hundreds that I've had in my collection.

Back to the OPs watch, the moiré effect on the bezel may be an artifact. But I've not seen an engine turned bezel like it.

I am guessing that we've seen the last of the OP.
