Yes, yes. I mean the ones that actually come from Rolex or are approved by Rolex. Like the COMEX or the ones with the retailer's signature (as previously discussed). Not the ones that were dropped off at the local engraving shop. Am I the only one who sees this distinction?

Are you saying that citizenrich's examples were done at a local print shop? Rolex has/had a "Corporate Branding" department (or something like that) just for this sort of thing.

If I missed the point, never mind.

Perhaps I've missed the point. I didn't realize that Rolex put these custom jobs out themselves. I assumed it was a talented screen printer or the like.

Even still, I'm distinguishing between a custom logo imprint that was done as a one-off, and a retailer's "double signed" dial.

There are probably some of both. I can tell you that there are a bunch of those Dominoes Rolexes in the wild. There are also a ton of Poole/InterAirDrill versions too. (My Uncle's old company.)

Very cool, that is the 3rd one I have seen apart from mine and one sample in Sala's. There must be quite a number of them out there.

Gold Dial, I'm not even sure it is redial or not because of the date numbers (9 and 6 are fully closed). Any opinions more than welcomed (I hope my luck is not too bad)? Anyhow, thanks once again for all the great sharing we got here. I also just took a plunge on another triple date with moonphase, will put a post up once it arrives 馃榾

Cheers,
Eric
My opinion:
. Goog original dial
. . Transplant (like little beavear said), days and months are not the same colour...
Cheers
