Rolex 1600 dial
Hi all,
I have a vintage Rolex 1600 watch, circa 1974. I need your help about its black dial because i have 2 doubts about this dial:
1. The lumes (on hour markers) are excellent condition, still light in the dark. ( i think that if the lumes are original, their colour have been changed)
2. At 6o'clock position siged: SWISS MADE (i searched on the net and i didn't see any Rolex 1600 dial which like my watch)
So is my dial original or not?
I need your help.
Thank you so much.
Dung,
