Rolex Oyster Perpetual 6084, serial 875742, early 1950s. Running, movement not inspected.
The red “OFFICIALLY” text seems to fit the era, since some dials were printed that way back then, but I’m not sure. The hands are gold-tone while the markers look steel.
I’m a new hobbyist and would appreciate opinions: do the dial and hands look original? Photos attached.

Dial has (or had) radium. The hands should also.

IMO, dial is original but in poor condition. The hands on the example in your last picture are probably original also.

The dial is correct but in poor condition (or has heavy patina depending on opinion). The hands should be dauphine style lume hands.
