Hi!

Would appreciate any info to know of this dial is original.

Thanks in advance and Happy Easter!!

haven_seeker · 13 April 2020, 03:48 AM

Not sure on the dial, but those hands have been abused...!!!

subrollie · 13 April 2020, 04:36 AM

Thanks

Its a watch I bought from Raymond Lee Jewellers. Bought it as a 16520... Had it shipped to
A US Address. They gave me the serial
number and showed it to me via email. x serial.

When i got it back from the states on a trip a year later. The serial number was x but model number 16523. Ugh!

The receipt they gave me just said rolex daytona. I never contacted then since an oversight like that and a receipt with no info... Well. Live and Learn.

I hope the dial is real. Would add value to this franken watch

Looks good. Inverted 6 T SWISS MADE T. I see nothing wrong here.

Thanks for the input!

Just trying to make sure the serif and font on the lettering are correct etc

You never know what can be faked these days.

Ok so it’s a two tones converted to SS.
Careful not to have purchased a Frankenwatch.

Nice dial but a converted 2 tone, which is probably against the law to sell as 16520

subrollie · 13 April 2020, 08:54 AM

Thanks. Hoping the dial is original so can salvage the watch

Like I said proceed with Caution when buying from Raymond Lee jewellers in Miami

Can’t tell from the pictures but wouldn’t a black dial 16523 have gold lettering? Also you’d be able to tell right away as I believe the subdials and indices would have YG surrounds?

It’s the wrong dial for the watch....

tyendo@aol.com · 15 April 2020, 11:14 AM

somethings fishy

WCHROLX · 16 April 2020, 01:32 AM

Looks original but quite old.

1665fan · 16 April 2020, 01:46 AM

It’s a SS dial in a 2 tone case...it’s not original to the watch but genuine SS dial

Ok that makes way more sense then. Someone had a TT case then swapped the bezel, dial, hands and bracelet just to pawn it off. Insane the lengths some shadeball dealers will go through...

My guess is that the dealer obv. knew which is why they listed it as a "daytona" without any specifics.

Has the OP tried to contact them? any response?

Also curious now, is the bracelet a correct 78360 with 503 endlinks?

swish77 · 16 April 2020, 05:44 AM

As above, curious what the seller has to say about all this. Any response?

And to clarify, you have email traffic and/or perhaps the original sales listing showing that the watch was being marketed as a 16520?

A big problem here, if I'm reading correctly, is that you waited a year to actually get and examine the watch. Is that right?

Hmmm

I might be inclined to obtain a 16523 dial of your choice and gold bezel and return it to factory spec.

Sell your black dial and bezel which will fetch good money.

As currently it falls between 2 stools and not easy to explain or move on.....

Or just enjoy it.

jaisonline · 19 April 2020, 11:36 PM

Did you pay using credit card? If so, might be worth calling the bank to see if they can help.

Hi, returning it to original spec might be more costly than prob the trouble. The OP will need 2 gold pushers, 1 gold crown, the dial & bezel (as you stated] plus the 2-tone bracelet. OP will also need RSC (once they open) to tell him what specific dial was sold with it.

I say enjoy the watch or just sell it once the economy is more stable.

subrollie: Your inbox is full. I would buy this watch and return it to 16523. If you want to sell it please PM me. Alternatively, if you wanted to return it to 16523 and keep it, I could help you source all of the parts you need..

subrollie · 11 May 2020, 01:55 AM

Thanks for all the advice everyone!

I still like the watch. The dial drew me in in that black with red lettering and inverted 6

Im more focused on whats going on now with this pandemic.

I will reach out to them.
