Dear Rolex Experts,

I got this 116520, SS White, P 935XXX from 2000
The dial is Offwhite instead of White. I tried to make
it visible with a white paper but it actually is easy to
recognize in comparison with the hour markers.

Does anybody have a similar one ? I appreciate any
information, pictures etc. as I quiet like it.

Thanks for your help.

Have a nice weekend,

Tim

Where did you get it from anywhere dodgy has it been checked by Rolex AD ? Sounds funny to me

Racerdj · 27 September 2013, 09:38 PM

I have never seen a dial color like yours.

Porto · 27 September 2013, 09:46 PM

Thanks for your replies:

additional info: I got the dial checked with my official Rolex dealer:
The dial is authentic ( they even took it out and checked it from
the back ). It also came with the Box and all Papers.

That's pretty cool.

Is it possible it got exposed to too much sunlight for a long time or something and it turned yellow?

that would be my guess as well...

It can happen with serial P, K, Y.

My opinion is that the 116520 cream dial will be the new patrizzi.

Just to know: did you put your P serial inside a safe box for a long time without sun exposure?

If it is authentic, it is a pretty darn cool looking issue to have!

Just to illustrate this topic !

Looks very nice patina !

luvsub · 29 September 2013, 06:44 AM

First time see this color on 116520, pretty cool.

HL65 · 29 September 2013, 06:46 AM

I have also seen cream dial 16520 and here is link to one that sold at Christies. When white dial turns ivory or cream really gives great look. It happened of course with EXP II's and here is fresh shot of my cream rail. Cheers,

thanks a lot to all of you for your replies, especially to SteelerFan65, for the link.
Fantastic colour on your Explorer II, hope my dial gets as dark as yours within the next
years.

landroverking · 29 September 2013, 11:21 PM

Now that's pretty cool.

77T · 30 September 2013, 03:41 AM

It is something seldom seen - did it come with any paperwork?

AK797 · 30 September 2013, 04:25 AM

Hmmm, I prefer the crisp white.

kultschar · 30 September 2013, 11:00 AM

+1 wouldnt want this on my Ex II or a Daytona personally

Ken, you have one of the nicest vintage Rolex collection I've seen. That cream rail is no exception.
