Notes
This extremely rare dial test sheet was produced by Lemerich to be presented to Rolex as test dials for the new GMT-Master II. The first dial is an early dial featuring the no-date as found on the early examples of the reference and has the mention “OK August 1983” probably indicating that this was the approval to produce those dials.
The second has a never seen before grey-blue font that was never put into production. Please note that due to the fact that these dials were produced to be shown only they are without feet. It is a rare insight into the world of dial production and a never before-seen and never produced dial.
In very good overall condition, some marks from storage
