Wow. Xeramic, that was incredibly informative. Cheers.

Thank you Xeramic. Indeed a master-class lesson!

This is the most suspenseful, intriguing, respectful, and hopeful post thread . . .EVER!!

Can't wait for "a couple months" to see the outcome!

And to the OP!! Best of luck and destiny to you, my friend!

No matter what . . . it's a real conversation starter....

what a great journey! Eagerly waiting for outcome!

Endlessly fascinating and informative. Vintage Rolex watches are indeed a deep rabbit hole and this story is such a cool thing to read. Thanks for sharing your journey, Erpin.

WOW the wait is totally unbearing..

Styles Bitchley · 26 September 2022, 09:14 AM

Any update, Erpin? More than three months now…

Probably more like Rolex doesn’t know or have the ability to confirm the dial…….

Mark020 · 26 September 2022, 08:57 PM

No chance on that I think. If it is legit they will know. They take their time. Longer is better I think.

What an amazing and informative thread. A lot to be learned here. I look forward to the results and wish the best for the OP.

Proto3 · 11 December 2022, 05:15 AM

Ooof that looks amazing. What would something like this even be priced at?

It's been a while, hope you're not sick.

Scaramanga74 · 13 January 2023, 10:33 PM

So, still no news?

BigBlue1 · 13 January 2023, 11:50 PM

I hope he is well, at this point giving his absents, the watch at this moment is less important. Hasn’t been on since November.

PVR · 14 January 2023, 12:10 AM

It's been over 6 months since the watch was submitted to Rolex. I would think if it was confirmed to be genuine we would have all heard about it.

I said it 4 times in this thread alone, it's a refinished dial with a weaker radium relume.

I bet a beer with someone in this thread and Im thirsty...

It is not uncommon for Rolex Geneva to have watches for more than 6 months! I know of one they had for nearly a year.

For authentication or for the full service?

@Erpin. Thank you for sharing the story of a rare albino dial. What a quest of truth! Very instructive thread on vintage Rolexes for me, newbie in this wonderful and excitedly risky world.

TBH I am in the same ‘ordeal’ as to authenticity of my 1501 with nice dial versus worn case! I suspect - at best - mine was serviced by competent AD Rolex men so that most parts seem authentic (Thank you @Dan S for your inputs). Was I lucky for buying my very first Rolex here, in Vietnam, market where Franken/faked timepieces seem common?

Tks again everyone here for sharing your story and thoughts.

Tbh loads of very poorly done fake and refinished white GMT dials out there.
