This is a dial that I could buy but I doubt if its real or fake, it has a white glossy finish.
Anyone knows if it has any obvious tells and what reference it should belong to?

@Hasslebank, thanks for the quick reply, its mostly dust/dirt on the dial it was stored badly.
You have any idea what reference it would be if it was gen?

A Pic of the backside would help but as the lume plots are missing as well, I assume it's one of these aftermarket / repainted dials... They might be genuine as the base and coronet are genuine but as said, it's a repainted dial in the end...

Could be a 16200 porcelain dial as well as the seconds indices are matching your dial but then it should have other, thicker hour indices...

@Dohdoh, thanks for the reactions. I suspect repainted as well based on that the paint on the date window was not nicely distributed.

First I would do a logic exercise, is he a reputable salesman?

I would ask for photos of the reverse, very enlarged photos to see the serigraphy, coronet....

for reference (although I am no expert), the Rolex 1601 datejust have the ‘ T SWISS T’.

It is not a 1601... The 1601 models had pie pan dials

Total fake/redial! The serifs on OYSTER PERPETUAL are a dead giveaway- even though they are slight. Dial print is very poor anyway and as has been mentioned- no lume plots at hour markers
