Icon5 Rail/Sigma Dial

Got my eye on a sale here, and just wondering ... Does a mid 1970s Datejust TT 1601 have any extra value or collectibility with a Rail Dial/Sigma combo?

Thanks,
Adam

Maybe a bit but not much. I've found sigma dials to bring a little more (hundred or two) but the rail doesn't really add anything.

From a collecting standpoint, imho it absolutely adds to the value.

I agree with N.

Certainly interesting but only worth a hundred or so more

I have found a Blue Sigma dial on a '66 1603. Would it be safe to assume that the dial was added to the watch later in its life. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
