I have this dial with someone's name on it.
Sadly, I do not speak Arabic.
Can any one "decipher" this text?

JJ Irani · 7 January 2010, 03:03 AM

That says: "If you can read this, your Arabic is pretty darn good!!"

Timber Loftis · 7 January 2010, 03:13 AM

It says, "Hi, I'm an aftermarket used watch part from the Saudi peninsula."

brkanand · 7 January 2010, 03:17 AM

I do not know Arabic. But applying my little knowledge of Urdu, there is a reference to 'Mohammed'. But then I am not an expert.

Not that I'm middle eastern, but I think it's pretty racist to say things like that. Just because the dial is Arabic or a middle eastern, doesn't mean everyone in the region is a terrorist.........

JOKE = FAIL

I was kidding Gus.

But the writing looks like it was an aftermarket printing or something.

Thank you very much

I first thought it read "Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed Al Nahyan", He's the one who gave it to me...

I can attest to that only from the fact that I am familiar with the Farsi (Persian) script which is somewhat similar to Arabic (with the exception of a few alphabets).

Thanks - JJ

They have these dials on Ebay all the time and they are asking a lot of $$ for it.

pure ugly on a Rolex they even have Dominos Pizza on one of the dials, the watch lost value being a pizza watch.

Yes, he is (was) an important sheikh in Abu Dhabi.

I believe the dial is a fake. Look at thr 'R' in Rolex and the fact that the 'Crown' is not under the min. mark. The printing of the Arabic is not the quality one would expect to see on an original Rolex dial either. Modern Rolex dials have some stamped ref. on the back - is there any? picture please. Tylden
