Vintage Fake Rolex watches with a focus on the condition of the dials

Modern watch collections have always been about the condition of the dial. Some watch experts say that today about 80-90% of the value is on the dial. To the outsider, this may sound silly or completely illogical, as the watch is made up of many parts and is an iconic watch with a collection value. However, nothing is more authentic than collecting vintage fake Rolex watches with a focus on the condition of the dials. Specifically, the patina on the dial. Once you’ve studied my Rolex Buying Guide, you’ll know that modern watch collecting is all about “exactly matched patina.” Loose watch parts need to be of the same age and patina level.

Since the dial is the heart of the watch and immediately catches the eye of the beholder, the dial has always been important and needed to showcase the brand’s identity. In the early 1930s, when watches were in high demand, the manufacturer didn’t stamp all the watches he made and delivered to his client jewelers. Instead of signing the dial with his own name, he opted to sign the jeweler’s name, which was more publicly recognized at the time than the name of their own watch brand.
Since there are always a few “exceptions” in collecting vintage Rolexes, we’ve also seen the back of the black dial become the ultimate find. In the past, dials were handcrafted, and in the early dial printing process, dial maker Singer printed the actual text and graphics on a black and white surface. Any small mistakes are now obviously easy to spot, still a hand-painted artisan-designed layout.

Somehow, collecting watches is like collecting stamps or paintings. The important thing is to have a nice face. Collectors will still buy Rolex watches with fine dials and worn cases, as it is known that a dial in good condition is much harder to find than a case in good condition.

Interestingly, we seem to be in the exact opposite situation when it comes to collectible watches. There was a time in the 1980s when complex movements and technologies defined the appeal of watches and increased the demand and value of watch collectors. While the dial is an important part of a watch, it’s not the deciding factor in the buying process. Dials are often polished and reprinted to be as close to the original as possible.
Increased demand for vintage Rolex watches has pushed prices to new heights. With that comes the inevitable ugly counterfeiting. Demand is in short supply, and suddenly your Daytona has tripled in value. Dials are starting to play a big role in finding a specific model or type. Asia became the center of fake dials, and Italian Rinaldi dials entered the market. Premium fake dials emerge using unconventional production methods, such as burying dials in the ground or baking them in ovens, in an attempt to achieve a matching patina. As prices rose, the dials were printed using a bit of chemical magic, a small investment compared to the high incomes of this secretive industry.
