I've always been amazed by the vintage builds here, especially the big crown projects, so I picked up a 6536 dial from our Bay seller of the moment. The 6536 dial was advertised with a diameter of 27.8mm. I don't have a digital caliper so I hope it's about right: After doing more research post-facto (thank you VRF/Rolexforums), I realize with this dial, I won't get a to do a big crown project after all: 5510 – 26,96mm circa cal.1030 deep 200/660 6536 – 26,98mm circa cal. 1030 deep 100/330 6538 – 27,00mm circa cal 1030 deep 200/660 6536/1 – 27,68mm circa cal 1030 deep 100/330 5508 – 27,69mm circa cal 1530 deep 100/330 So I guess my options are 6536/1 or 5508. Now a question for our experts - Are there other builds possible with this dial?

Ok, I am a BIG fan SuperFrankens, and even All GEN "Build-Up's". I presently have 2 and am working on a third that falls into this category. Now for the million dollar question. (no pun intended). Would you pay $$$$ for a dial like this when some of the dial's coming from Yuki/InGod/NDT are super good, and would generally pass the arms length (non-Macro-Photo) inspection? Here is the eBay link to a 5508 dial. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120891799033 I ask this question as a "builder". I ~could~ see a reason to purchase this IF you have an original all GEN 5508 with B&P that somehow has a badly damaged dial. But, would YOU ever build watch with this expensive of a dial? Curious,
