In order for it to be redone, they would have to remove all the print, all the paint and all the tritium lume and start again on bare metal - it's impossible to remove one or 2 letters and reprint them.

It's obvious from the paint on the dial surface that it's the original paint, the tritium is original and the lettering too.

Rolex made many variations of dials, some were produced in large numbers, some in very small numbers.

instead you're wrong, because you can intervene in the dial even in the most damaged parts, not necessarily in the whole dial, I know good craftsmen who do it, anyway I did a search for this dial I keep saying that it is inseparable, if you insist be original, document us, because I did a search, I asked experts but I had no positive feedback

yes, instead, why publish a 1675 gmt watch saying it is original while the dial is suspect, did a lot of research, showed sellers of vintage watches and they say it is a very strange dial, I suspect because a long E does not have those letters attached, you have to give an explanation, as I have shown the differences, otherwise your competence is air

No offense taken. Here is a better picture.

I have a detailed post on Rolex Forums on this watch when I found it. I requested a thorough vetting and my watch maker cleaned it up and replaced the crown. I also recently spoke to a watch maker in France. Here is our conversion and his thoughts.

Admittedly, I do not know enough about the variations of Rolex dials to refute your claim. But, I know this watch has been in the hands of at least two Rolex certified watch makers and both have verified its authenticity.

Cheers!

Edit: I have same user name on Rolex Forums

Legend has it Jacques Cousteau wore a 1675 GMT on his first expedition.

It leaked after 5 minutes, and he wasn't even in the water. He was washing his hands.

But Magnum P.I. wore one in the ocean for days while treading water!!! :)
