Advice sought re replacement dial for vintage Rolex

calalum · Nov 8, 2024

All-Here is a watch that I have had for a long time, with a refinished dial. I have on and off tried to find a decent original dial without success. The dial below popped up and I am considering it. Obviously, it is imperfect, and I am not even sure if it is correct (most of the 6105 dials I looked at do not have number on the outer track). Can anyone give me some useful guidance here as to correct vs. not and thoughts about the condition? Thanks in advance.

I’d keep looking.

I wouldn’t say it is any better than what you have. This is a case in point why the dial has so much value in vintage Rolex. You’ll probably have to buy another watch head for the dial if you want a decent dial upgrade.

The refinished dial would definitely bug me. Not knowing the asking price for the original condition replacement, I’d put that one on and then keep searching for a better one (and then resell the worst one).
