Hi guys, i would like to ask Rolex experts on this subject. Recently I was told that this Daytona 16528 available in the market currently come with either the original dial with "T Swiss Made T" or "Swiss Made". The one with only "Swiss Made" without the ...  

What year is that one?

and it has the "T".

ah ok

So, it doesn't mean that when it has no "T", it's a replacement dial? It just mean it's newer piece after 1999/2000 year? Thanks

Nicolas is correct regarding the time frame,

However, for a gold Daytona, the value is in the condition of its case. You can always find a tritium dial, but you cannot unpolish a case. Only the early porcelain or inverted 6 dials have a superior value on their own.

another related question, if you don't mind

I saw this 16528 piece W series with inverted six dial from 1995. Is the dial correct for the model? I read at various places it says inverted six dial is only up to series S, but many reputable places selling pieces from W or later with inverted 6 dials.... 

I wouldn't look at an inverted 6 dial past 1993 personally.

My thoughts were from 1989 to 1993 for inverted 6 dials. Having said that 1995 not impossible. M.

Thanks

So it’s still not impossible to still have W series with inverted 6?

Impossible No....

But I personally would want to see an inverted 6 on an earlier watch so that there is no should this or shouldn’t this. A saying which has served me well over 30 years of watch collecting “ If there is any doubt there is No doubt” M.
