Question on 1993 16233 Dial Variation

hoshimachi · Mar 21, 2023

Hello OF,

I am searching for a period-correct dial for my 16233 (S Serial with lug holes)
5-digit datejusts have so many dial variations that I am getting lost.

Would a "White Large Roman Numeral Dial" without tritium lume be period correct for my watch?
I have seen some on the internet... some with lug holes and some without, but I am not sure which is "correct".

The dial:

If you like it you should just go for it. Why worry about what is correct for a 1993 DJ. It’s not really a collectible watch IMO and people swap dials all the time.

Thanks for the suggestion. I know that this isn't some crazy vintage rolex, but I would like to keep things correct if possible... just for OCD sake.
