6694 dial question
I am looking at dial specific to the Rolex 6494 Oysterdate. The movement is original 1210.
My purpose is to validate a 6494 is raised "Rolex" and marked Oysterdate and below Precision and SWISS Were they pie pan on the backside with no feet like the picture 1 Or with offset feet like a 6694 dial? Are the 6494 and 6694 dial's interchangeable on either movements. 6494 (1210) 6694 (1225)? I appreciate our forum members knowledge and our forum leaders as I study both 6494 and 6294 Cheers! Peter |

I am wrong in my initial post.
The 6494 is a 1215 movement. Here is a sight that captures the general look of the 6494 dial Raised Rolex Marked "precision" Marked SWISS https://www.beyondthedial.com/post/c...ures-my-heart/ |

Is there a reason you don't want to post a photo of your dial? The feet are missing, but if you like the dial, you can just use dial dots to be safe and enjoy wearing it.

The pictures I post are examples I took off of dials online. My watch's current dial is beautiful but surely has been restored and does not exhibit the raised Rolex. Thinking about a change towards an original patina look. |

OK, thanks for that additional context, it makes the conversation more efficient. As I mentioned, if you find a cheap dial that's appealing to you, your watchmaker can probably make it work without feet.
