    Rolex '666' authentication

    Been doing some research and looking at a grail sea dweller but the minefield of original hands etc can be challenging. Have the below picture and would welcome thoughts as to how original, condition etc it is.

    The bracelet, end links and case look good and to me all looks right but still need the assistance of the experts.

    I would say not, purely on the colour.

    By why stress unless you are paying a premium for original hands.

    Chances are the lume will be dead anyway. If not the they are defo not original.

    A set of genuine period hands can be obtained on the VRF and most likely will match the dial. Cost about £500.

    Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

    The hands are def service hands
    Glass at edge looks chipped and would need to go to rolex
    Then they would want to do a service to sort out £££££££

    Here's a better pic of the dial
    It's the same watch

    My first question would be: what is the serial?

    7 series puts it in the sweet spot for a Rail Dial - nice
