Just a nice looking dial I ran across surfing. Does seem you get wacked on the price for it. Not a Rolex person myself but a nice looker for you. Listed on Etsy, Ebay, and best price on chrono24 if anyone loves it. Enjoy. "Vintage Rolex Oyster Precision 1953 Watch" "Tropical dial Ref. 6424. Manual movement. The high-grade caliber 1210 movement is complete with 17 rubies. 36mm diameter , screw down Rolex oyster crown and screw on back. The piece is in original condition and keeps very good time. We have fully serviced and regulated the movement." UK seller

The tropical dials do look good if they have aged evenly but these are very, very rare. Most turned partially brown or speckled like this one and then ceased to change. The transformation process seemed to stop pretty shortly after it begun.
