5508/5510 James Bond Dial?
Hi fellow vintage lovers,
Not too long ago this dial came into my possession. I still consider myself a vintage Noob, so i would love to get a more knowledgeable opinion from you guys Am i right if i state that this is a 5508 "James Bond" dial or is it from a 5510 Big Crown James Bond? I am torn about the condition it is in, it's in near mint condition but it makes me wonder if it has ever been refinished... |

Neither the 5508 nor 5510 have anything to do with 'James Bond'. Sorry.

I also doubt that dial has anything to do with rolex

Not original Rolex?
Even when Singer is stamped on the back? |

It it's really "stamped" you can be sure it's not original. Seriously, it MAY be a really poor redial on an original dial plate but I'm 99% sure that it didn't leave the Rolex factory that way.

I hope you didn’t pay a lot for that.

You've hit the nail on the head - it looks new. Like it was made in the last 10 years.
Marked base plate just means you either have a fake, or a reprinted 26.5mm dial. |

These threads are becoming way too common.
“What do you think of my .....?” It’s junk. That’s what I think. |
