My understanding always was that L-Series came with 4-Lines dial. Now I've seen 2 watches (L4xx and L6xx) with a 5-Line Mark3 dial (Fratello logic: https://www.fratellowatches.com/gior...ference-16520/)

One watch can be found here: https://www.hqmilton.com/timepieces/...hite-dial-6614


In what series the Mark3 dial was used? Is it collectible which justifies a mark-up vs. a 'normal' inverted 6 dial?
There could be some cross-overs. Keep in mind that nothing is in stone. The lists/charts you're looking at are just compiled by hobbyists/collectors, and are not an official Rolex proclamation about what type dial fits in what serial number.

Sure, most L serial 16520s had the four-line dials, but E serial watches (usually five lines) were also being released in 1990, so I would imagine there could be some cross over between the dial types in L and E serial Daytonas. Doesn't sound like a stretch to me.
