Icon14 Rolex Zephyr with unusual dial inscription

I am wondering if someone can help me. Please see the attached jpg file. Note that the following is inscribed on the dial: "50m = 165ft". This is something you typically see on the diving watches; I have never seen it on a Zephyr... I am wondering is this feature rare and/or valuable? thanks!

Sorry to say, not a great re-dial. Get it repainted again, you can't lose.

Dial guy took a little bit of artistic liberty and got funky, or they simply screwed up. Coronet is crooked, vertical line intersects it too far right. Unfortunately the dial has little to no value, which has affected the overall value.

thanks for the feedback... So with a much better re-dial, what do you think the fair value is?

A redial is a redial, its not really worth investing in that. Better to find a replacement dial if you want to sell it on, IMO.
