    Yes I know the crystal's in really bad shape. But do the applied crown logo and rolex text look off?

    yes I am aware of that fact. What about the applied crown logo and the ROLEX letters?

    The more I look at that crown the more it does not look right. The closest I could find on Google search is this.

    Seconds hand is not correct either.

    I have a watch with a very similar dial (although not a SpeedKing).

    My watch has no lume on markers. Some did. Dial is not bright white, nor was it that way when new.

    Radium in hands and on dial are going to cause some patina no matter what.

    Not feeling the love for that dial.

    Might as well tag on another question here.

    Did Rolex ever use a Cartier-like blue carbochon crown?

    The watch in question is a Cellini BTW.

    Avoid this. There is a very nice Speedking up on lunaroyster's site (I know since it's mine, being consigned :cool:)
