That's interesting, I thought Japan would have figured quite highly there too. I guess the whole of Asia is big on Rolex including Singapore.

I myself sent 1 Rolex to Malaysia, so they have at least one there too (my brothers)

Good day FOBS,

Great to have you on board.

it would be good if you change your location from 14K case to Asia.

hi orchi and guyz,...

my colleague got this off ebay, seller from phillipines,... and yes, redone dial. I am a newbie, so to it looks like say 70% workmanship. Whole dial painted black, then the letters/words rewritten, then i think a coat of clear was applied. The letterings are quite okay though,... should hv been done by a half-sifu or 3quarter-sifu.

oh, ok,...14k case > south east asia!
