You meant chapter ring? Only early gilt pre 1964 have them I think. Rolex switched to matte white dials in 1966.
I blame it on the autoconnect.

·No, the metal ( white gold? ) surround on the markers
I think I know what u r referring to. It's not metal but just white marker showing because the lume shrink if u look closely. They r common in those era. Below is pic from the web that shows clearly the surround of a naked dial. White gold surround was introduced in the 80's.

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerRight. I knew the white gold was introduced in the eighties which is wjy i was surprised
Don't think those markers have surrounds - just very symmetrical shrinking of the lume...

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI mean, REALLY simmetrical!
Yep - I did a double take when I first looked at this watch as well. 😀
Line from an 80's song by Jane Siberry...

·It is not a symetrical shrink, just the luminous materials was applied this way on the white paint (not recovering all the white painted dot).
