A few years ago, when I was examining my own vintage Swiss Rolex Datejust replica watches from 1969, I concluded that the dial inside was a service dial. I got it in 2002, and at the time there was little to no information available on the topic. But even a few years ago when I decided to finally replace it with an original dial, I realized that it can be very confusing to determine what’s correct and what isn’t. On eBay, there’s a ton of AAA Rolex fake watches accessories such as dials, hands, and bezels. I quickly found out that authenticity is not always guaranteed. With the help of some friends, who know more about 1:1 replica Rolex watches dials than I do, I managed to source a nice one (also from eBay). Of course, I paid a stupid amount, but at least my Swiss made replica Rolex Datejust watches now has an all-original dial once again.
If only there had been a handy guide that could have helped me in my search!
