I think the bottom two are also named after an esteemed Italian watch expert.... "Marci Dials"?? No.... "Pisani Dials"!!

Thanks,wow.

@Marcello: Did know you were very knowledgeable from your discussions here and humbleness to help rookies like me too but didn't know you were so famous & a vintage Rolex celebrity till read the links above. A dial named after you is really special and a testament to your research and knowledge, we are sure privileged to have you here:)

I think you have hoarding tendencies. As part of your therapy, you need to send me 2 of those.

Superb indeed- Pisani Dial Comex- my favorite! By the way...All 1665 Comex are Rail dials unless it has a 610 service dial- then I don't want it as it is no longer an Uncle Marci dial...
