Wow, just beautiful Valerio, and although I am not a Rolex expert at all,
I believe you when you say that these are rare sir. This hobby
is really something because of the watches, as well as history of all of
the watches as well as brands. But also because we are always learning
all of the time from people like yourself.

Thank goodness you are here to teach us about such things. I can't
thank you enough !!!

 

Thanks Tom. The gilt dials are easily recognized because we are practically faced with an underlying gilt level and a higher level of perforated paint corresponding to the typhography. Looking carefully, we notice a very slight step between the two layers. At the same time, a golden gilt writing cannot become silver due to viration or anything else. You are therefore certain that it is a gilt dial and was born silvered. How did these exceptions happen? There really isn't a rule; on an hundred ref. 1500 that they delivered to you from Geneva there could be one different from the others for no specific reason. We must admit that these attentions that we have today were not taken into consideration at all at the time; add that there was no internet and this aspect means a lot.
