The example we have here is circa 1967 and features a glossy dial. this would have been the last variation of the glossy dial before Rolex went to the matte version. This watch was born with a black dial and over the years it has turned to a beautiful chocolate brown color throughout. The dial has aged in a unique way and you won't find another exactly like this one. Collectors gravitate towards watches with color change aka tropical dials because they are one of a kind and not common. Rarity is a big factor for many collectors and this is a good chance to pick up something special. \u003c\/span\u003e Shop Rolex Explorer Collection\u003ch2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"panel-headingProductAuthenticity\"\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"accordion-button bg-transparent shadow-none py-4 px-0\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#panel-collapseProductAuthenticity\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"panel-collapseProductAuthenticity\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"h4\"\u003eAuthenticity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* All Pre-Owned Rolex watches are guaranteed to be 100% genuine andcertified authentic.\u003c\/strong\u003e Certificates are issued by WatchCSA. theindustry's leading independent authority on watch authentication.
