History :
The name "Buckley", why Buckley nicknamed ?
This Rolex dial type is named after / by John Buckley. John is a passionate Rolex collector and trader and owns Tuscany Rose in New York City.
The details :
Normally Rolex Dials had applied numerals or indexes. The Buckley dial is an exception and has printed Roman numerals. When first introduced this dial type wasn’t really popular. The contrary is true in present time.
Buckley dials have a closed outer minute track with tritium dots. Painted Roman numerals are printed in black. The hour, minute and second hands are also painted black to match the dial print.
This makes a watch with a Buckley dial stand out even more. It's rumored that the Buckley dials were made for people that had a hard time reading the regular dial types, of course like with many things this is never confirmed by Rolex....
Rolex released it at the time to counteract the Cartier brand, which was very popular in the 1960s and 1970s, with a dial of the same style on a white color with numerals romans.
