Yes. Most pink air king dials over there, especially if they have stones are aftermarket. Most sellers will admit it if you ask. They all like to claim the dials are original but have been re sprayed a new color.

What I especially love is the hands that have been drawn on.

The hands aren't on the watch...they have been photoshopped onto the watch opic (badly!). Look at the length of the minute and seconds hand...they would hit the rehaut before they ever got to the 6 position. I say fake all around!

Lots of sellers Photoshop their watches for some reason. I would steer clear of those sellers 'cause you never know what you're gonna get.

Are just the stones aftermarket or the whole dial? If it is the whole dial, then it is not aftermarket, but counterfeit, as it is Rolex marked.
