Rolex Dial for Explorer II: what do I have?

[amoredimamma]

Hello everybody,

I recently bought, together with other horological stuff, a dial for an Explorer II with Minnie printed on it. Dial is in excellent conditions. On the back I can only read the numbers "2" and "365". I would like to know what I have if it is an original dial with Minnie printed on it or what. I also would appreciate to have an idea of the value of this dial. Thanks in advance

Looking at the back of the dial, I would be inclined to think it's more likely a fake as opposed to a genuine dial that's been molested with Mickey added.
The dial doesn't look like an original example due to the absence of any recognisable hallmark.
Also the finish on the back of the dial isn't quite as good as any original I've seen in the past.
The black applied markers are thin like the very last of the white dialed versions of the model with Superluminova which is contradictory to the Tritium mark at the bottom of the dial, but the lume also looks aged and a little un-natural.
It would also be interesting to see the Mickey magnified and compare the printing on the dial with the original to get a clue as to whether mickey has been added at a later date.

Thanks a lot for the info. Now I am abroad and can't take pictures of the dial. As soon as I can I try to take a picture of Mickey to see if it has been added later. Dial seems to be very new and well done. Any other has some consideration?
Thanks again!

Hello, with delay, I enclose some more detailed pictures of the dial. Grateful if you could share some consideration about the originality and, possibly, the approximate value.
Thanks in advance!
