Update on The Mystery of the Rolex Prototype dial.....

Spectacular news today, finally I can show you online some super interesting Proto Type dials made for Rolex. Not only rare design proposals for the DateJust but also for the Submariner and the Daytona. We now get a much better view of the dial makers catalogue of 1968 that got presented to Rolex, Tudor, Omega and for instance Universal. Once you see below pictures of dial studies showing their clients the possibility of new print techniques, colors, dial finish, minute and hour markers some got into production but most where kept unused and got archived in the catalogue.

Now that these dials have come out, got carefully in a matching watch by date, preserving the stunning and sometime mind blowing designs for a next generation of vintage watch lovers. Once we studie them up close, we all will better understand the way a dial has been made, this will will help you out there to judge for your next purchase, trying to understand the world of wonders of vintage Rolex. MANY thanks to my great friend Roberto ( Jatucka ) for letting me share this very important information for the VERY first time, on RPR
