5500 dials
I have a small question regarding 5500 AirKing dials. I am rebuilding one of my AKs, (a 60s era) and have 2 dials to choose from. The issue is, one of the dials, (the one I prefer) has the dial feet farther in on the dial plate than the rest of my dials. The location is the same in relation to the dial indicators, but they are farther from the dial edge than the other dials. ANy idea what movement this dial would be from or if it will in fact fit a 1520? The watch is almost completed now, but this is my final issue.
Dave

Update...I just found out what the odd dial is. It is for a Rolex 6552 AirKing Super Precision with a 1030 movement.

I wish I could use my 6552 AK dial, but alas I don't have a 1030 movement. I really like to look of the dial and have even thought of removing dial feet to use with a 1520 movement, but then good sense takes over and I keep looking for a 1030.

Thwe 5500 came with the standard silver sunburst type dial. I just wish I could use the 6552 dial on a 1520 movement.
