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

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.

My watch is all together and I don't have the ability to take it apart to see if it has feet but I suspect it does. I think the 6494 with 1215 movement is much like a 6694 with 1225 movement that does have feet.

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.
