    Hi everybody.
    What is your opinion, is this dial original ? Information from the seller: "original 18 ct sigma dial". Sorry, no better pictures.

    You'll have to ask for better photos of the dial straight on, otherwise no one will likely offer any opinion. Sorry.

    I've seen many sigma Daytona dials that have the sigma "unjustified" with the T's, similar, in a way, to this 1005, but above the T's. Other models with sigma dials (the Datedate, for example) show the sigma letter inline with the T.
    I would think the sigma letters would be inline with the T's on this 1005; therefore I'd be cautious about purchasing the timepiece and would want to thoroughly inspect the dial "in hand" with a 10x loupe.
    I'm interested to hear other's opinion on this watch.

    The Rolex crown reaches the minute indices at 12. Is it normal ?

    Not a pristine example with this dial, noted in the 12:00-2:00 damage.
    Why pay a premium anyway... I think the dial looks fine..

    Hi,

    The dial looks refinished, The font does not look correct, the printed minute markers are too long and the T Swiss Made T would have luminous on the dial but the dial doesn't have any luminous.

    I'm far away from being an expert.
    But looks like the font is a bit off. Look at the O and Cs. They are a bit bigger than the rest of the letters. Also, minute marks looks a bit differen length(especially one that touching the crown).

    Just my $0.02 . 20170412_204021.jpg
