"Mirror Dial" 

A glossy dial found on models manufactured until around 1967.
Among vintage models, which are attractive for their beautiful mirror-like shine,
This is a rare dial with an overwhelmingly small number of pieces.

The logos and minute lines painted in gold are also features of the mirror dial.
It is a dial with a refined beauty that is different from current Rolex models!
The stepped gold lettering is truly stunning when seen in person.

This particular model is an early mirror dial,
It is a mirror dial, called "Chapter Ring," "Circle Mirror," or "MM Dial,"
which was produced until around 1963, featuring a track-shaped minute circle printed along the outer edge of the dial.

Mirror dials often show individual differences in the glossiness of the dial.

Furthermore, with chapter rings,
There is an impression that many individuals tend to have lost their gloss or show signs of deterioration.

This particular watch has some scratches from the hands on the dial, but otherwise it maintains a beautiful condition,
The black dial's luster is captivating and shiny!

It has a great luster! You really should see it in person!!

The luminescence condition is particularly noteworthy!!
The index luminescence is in superb condition with almost no missing areas.

Furthermore, this dial is also a rare dial, commonly known as "6-dot,"
where a circular luminescent dot is positioned on the minute circle at the 6 o'clock position.

Since the luminous point, when viewed together with the bar index, resembles an "!" mark,
It is also called an exclamation dial.

It is said that this dial is an early model that incorporated tritium, reducing the radium content and using tritium in conjunction.

The flat hands are also a nice touch!

The condition of the luminous hands is also good!!
It's rare to find a piece with such good condition of both index and hand luminescence.

The bezel insert is equipped with a subtly faded MK2/Long 5 insert!
This insert is also an indispensable point!

*The luminous point has been retouched.

The condition shows age-appropriate usage scratches, but it's a recommended piece with good overall condition!!

Overhaul has also been completed by our affiliated workshop.

The mid-case is solid with no excessive finishing.

The pointed crown guard, called "PCG" (Pointed Crown Guard), is also a characteristic of this era and looks cool!

The crown is also a 700 crown that matches the era.

The rivet bracelet is also an indispensable feature for models of this era!!

The condition of the 63.4 Swiss rivet is excellent,

It's in superb condition with minimal stretch!
This rivet bracelet is also rare!

It's cool. It has a good face!!
Overall, it is a recommended piece that maintains an attractive condition!!

Finally, a wrist shot!!
