Benjamin Clymer, writing for Hodinkee in 2013, read the Albino as a rare factory Rolex dial, probably Singer-made, fitted to a very small number of 6263 cases. That reading held as the default for about twelve years.

Jose Pereztroika's December 2025 dossier on Perezcope reads the Albino as a late-1990s construction rather than a factory dial, built from a recovered [[Reference:6238\|6238]] silver dial transplanted into a 6263 case by the dealer Tom Bolt, whom Pereztroika also credits with coining the Albino name. In that reading, 6238 hands had to be used because standard 6263 hands did not fit the recessed sub-dials correctly.

	The ~~Perezcope~~ dossier ~~carries specific~~ forensic markers on Sotheby's Lot 340 (case 2648447):		The dossier lists four forensic markers on Sotheby's Lot 340 (case 2648447): discontinued thin-tapered sub-dial hands inconsistent with a 1971 production case, a 30-minute sub-dial hand sitting high against period-correct fitment, plating coming off the screw-down pushers in a pattern that reads as aged fake material rather than original Rolex gold plate, and 6238 donor-dial typography visible under magnification.

The Lot 340 catalogue described the dial as of unknown origin, endorsing neither the factory-variant reading nor the later-construction reading.
