1680 "red" dial

Check out the "m" just like one we had in question earlier this week...

Wrong in so many ways........ Never mind the m just look at the positioning of the L in Rolex..... Laughable ..... Should be no where near that far to the left of the crown. The L should be centred under the crown.

Loads of other things wrong....... Look at the spacing of the ONO lettering in Chronometer and OF in Officially...... Scary ........

It's an exact copy of that dial (if not the same one) - The R in ROLEX is the same laughable attempt as we saw earlier in the week, along with all the other deficiencies listed above - wonder if the dealer in question removed it and is now trying to flog it on fleabay...either that or there's a worrying (to those not in the know) amount of faked / poorly refinished dials out there.

I told eBay a few days ago. See my post

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=237267

Michael also told them. Don't know why it's still a live post.

Not sure what the problem is. After all, "THE METAL IS 100% ORIGINAL ROLEX" right?

One difference I can see so far between this and the one on the watch I had is the f doesn't cross all the way on this one, but did on mine. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1339248943.084718.jpg

there also seems to be a part of the E missing on the eBay example in the word perpetual.

I moved this to "Watchout". As stated, it's terrible.
