Came across these special dials on the 16013, I believe one is the tapestry dial and the other one black onyx dial. Does anyone know anything about these dials and their history?
Are they originally made by Rolex officially?
Pls share if you know. Thanks.

Yep, all originally and officially made by Rolex.
However, they are a bunch of fake ones out there. Pictured dials look genuine.

The case with the tapestry dial is over polished. Should be brushed on top of the lugs. And I think it should have silver hands too since the markers are silver. It probably originally had a white gold bezel and silver crown too. Also, why would the onyx dial have T SWISS T but have no lume anywhere? Shouldnt the hands at least be luminous?

The stone dials on non qs models always say t swiss t.

The case on the tapestry dial is not over polished it simply has had the satin polished to bright. The lugs are thick and the line is good. Putting the original finish on that watch would not be a problem in the least. The bezel has seen a wheel for sure. That bothers me a WHOLE lot more than the lugs.

The tapestry dial watch is a quickset watch so it is very easy to tell from the model number on the case what the original configuration was.
