Hi all,

I recently was at an estate sale for a retired watchmaker. I got a bunch of goodies but I was particularly interested in a Rolex dial which displayed the word “explorer” on it.

I have seen Ref. 6298 dials with similar writing but have not been able to find an exact match in style. Was questioning the authenticity myself but figured I would give the forum here a shot.


Disclaimer: I am not attempting to sell the dial, just to understand if this an authentic find and/or different dial configuration.

thanks

 

I hope you got it with your bunch of goodies as it looks correct to me

 

Appreciate the feedback! Forgot to mention it came with the hands as well.

also found an “Everest” dial with the goodies.
