<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Svenedin, post: 2392753, member: 15615&quot;]I don&#039;t agree with these comments. See the link to another 1950&#039;s Rolex. Admittedly this is a very different model but it does show what a 70 year old Rolex dial looks like. I also fail to see how it is &quot;Obvious&quot; that this is gold plate. If you look at the scratches in the case there is no base metal showing which suggests to me this is solid gold. Also look at the back, there is no base metal showing. Plated pieces tend to wear the plating off in predictable places where there is the most rubbing in use (and this watch has clearly seen a lot of use). I am still of the mind that this is the genuine article and would love to hear the answer definitively! If the OP takes it to any competent watchmaker he can take the back off and take photos of the movement. This will reveal all. He should not attempt this himself unless he has the right tools and know how as it could cause damage to the case. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.stetzcowatches.com/product/rolex-oysterdate-6494-tropical/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.stetzcowatches.com/product/rolex-oysterdate-6494-tropical/" rel="nofollow">https://www.stetzcowatches.com/product/rolex-oysterdate-6494-tropical/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
