Rolex 6263 18k Dial - Original?
Dear forum members,
Last time you helped me out with a suspicious 6240 case that I was able to return. I now got (not yet paid) a 6263 dial for the 18k version which I was years looking for. After the auction I requested some more photos of the backside. Again I am no expert. The frontside looks good to me. The Rolex printing seems to be a little on the left compared to other examples. However the Singer row on the backside shows a different G than I have seen before. With a bar next to the round body that goes downwards. This bar seems to be missing in all examples I have seen. Might be just a variant but might as well be a reprint. I was hoping someone can help me out with his knowledge. Now the pics. Best Regards |

Your pictures are awful. You need clear, high res shots. These dials are all about the minute details. Having said that, from the little that I can see it doesn’t look good. It looks to be a dial from a notorious seller of fake parts based in Arizona.
Edit: Just had a better look at it, it’s fake no doubt about it. |

Thanks. I will try to make some better pictures with my computer in few hours. Maybe you can have a second look then. The seller is based in spain. But of course he may have bought it once from Arizona.

May I just ask what is weird with the minute subdial? If you were referring to that at all.
Is the Singer engraving ok for you? Doesn’t the G look weird as well? Best Regards |

Oh, now I have seen the the length of the ticks in the minute subdial are weird. At least relative to each other.
Thanks again. |
