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.
