1601 & 1603 marker and 'swiss' made variances
i notice there is quite a number of marker differences from stick to wide to bevelled etc.. are these all original Rolex or are some knock offs? -- just wondered if there was a photo library someone can look up to see all the Rolex original variations
Also noticed that the at the bottom center of the dials are either: T SWISS T O T SISS T O T SWISS MADE T Again are the above legit variations? And finally noticed the type sizing of the OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST vary in sizes in the dials I have seen, again is this normal Rolex productions variances. Just trying to look out for fakes/knock-offs. Any advice appreciated. Thanks! |

Check the Dial archive on VRF for good examples.
