in http://www.bjsonline.com/watches/articles/0018_1.shtml as referred to above it also states "The ref. 6536/1 also had a chronometer rated movenent, Cal 1030, 25 jewels, adjusted to temperature and 5 positions(without "-1" has a non-chronometer movement). The dial was a black gloss, gilt print, with deph in silver, and also note the case was not as thick as the Ref 6536 which it had replaced." check http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=30759 (might need to register to see it) where it says; 6536 - Launched in 1955.

Sorry but the gen 6536 case (unlike the 6536/1) was thick like the 6538 and had the big brevet crown as well 6536/1 thin case for small brevet crown is not offered by ndtrade so u still need to get the big brevet crown the ndtrade rep big brevet crown have 3 teeth too many so it aint worth the cash the ones getting the 5508 ndtrade case will realise that the caseback is for 6536/6538 and not 5508 Edit: MBW 6538 is very inaccurate regards bezel, crown... and forget abot the cwp or gen bezel
