Are the "SWISS" only dial harder/more rare do you think?
like to get some opinions here
I see very few of them and wonder are they a bit more rare or harder to find, and if so would you rather have one? thanks |

Of no extra value whatsoever Rolex used Swiss up till 1960, then again Swiss only was used from 1998-2000 with the introduction on Luminover dials.Although only used in modern days for around two years there must be several hundred thousand of them around.

I have also read that Rolex has used the "SWISS" dials for service replacements. Is this true or false?

Not true Rolex will try and replace a dial as near to what ever the original dial was.

Peter is it possible for Rolex to use a SWISS marked dial at a service? I have a GMT II 16713 Root Beer I purchased recently and it has a service crystal and a SWISS marked dial. Just curious. Thanks

They can be rarer than Swiss Made or Swiss T<25 dials, but there's no way to pay premium.

Bump. Is the thinking on the above replies still true? It seems not....
