In 2007, singer John Mayer discussed a certain Daytona dial on Vintage Rolex Forum and suggested that if he proved their authenticity, these dials should be called “Mayer Dials”. OG dealer John Buckley dismissed Mayer’s attempt at horology fame and joked that collectors might as well call his favourite painted Roman Datejusts “Buckley Dials”. The community agreed, and the name stuck. Buckley dials are high-legibility variants with elongated, impossibly fine printed (not applied) Roman numerals and contrasting painted hands. Most are white, some champagne, very few in blue and the rarest are grey ones like this. Even rarer with intact, “pumpkin” tritium lume and no aging\/staining\/tritium burn. Only 2–3 surfaced globally in the last 5 years, but none in this condition. Overhauled in 2022 (with receipt) and in stellar mechanical health. A true collectible!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONDITION:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e9\/10; shallow hairlines but very few signs of prior polishing. White gold fluted bezel is sharp, tall and looks untouched. Original signed crown. Dial and hands in exquisite condition with beautiful patinated “pumpkin” tritium plots responding correctly to UV for age. Crystal is clean. Only thing keeping this from a 9.5 is a small spot of paint loss from the XI marker. Movement overhauled in 2022 and continues to run with to-spec power reserve, high amplitude, low-to-zero beat error and accurate to ±5 secs\/day averaged from 6 timegrapher positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e36.3mm width excl. crown\u003cbr\u003e44mm length incl. lugs\u003cbr\u003e12.5mm thickness excl. cyclops\u003cbr\u003e20mm lug width\u003cbr\u003eVisual dial width ~27.5mm\u003cbr\u003eWrist in photos is 15.8cm in circumference\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCRYSTAL:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAcrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCASE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eSteel, 18K white gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWATER RESISTANCE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAssumed none, as per vintage watches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTRAP:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eRolex 62510H Jubilee bracelet, 555 endlinks, period-correct “H” code clasp.
