I would spend some time at doubleredseadweller.com and check the red Sub section. A Very helpful web site.

MK 5 dial and the bezel insert is likely a service replacement.
The dial is printed in standard white ink, not gilt.

Does the R in Rolex look correct for Mark V?

Your dial is not a Mark IV, V or IV !!! These were the feet first dials.
You might want to study the font alignments at DRSD.com again. When done, I think you'll come to the conclusion that I did.

Passed on it.
Springer, came to the same conclusion as you. Not a mark anything for that matter. Appreciate the feedback! |

If there's a glimmer of a doubt on authenticity, you should always pass.
This one's an easy pass.

It was on eBay from a company called Sarasota watch company. Saw it in person at the actual brick and motor. When I called to tell him About the dial, he said he sold it to a dealer. It was a "full set" w punched chronometer papers. Hope no one here buys it.
