Hello,

I was looking at this 5508 (1959) and the dial does not seem right or maybe a redone (I think the text under 6 o'clock marking is supposed to "Swiss" and not "Swiss - T <25") any thoughts??

The bezel insert pearl seems to be not original to the watch as well...

I was not surprised to see this going a little under 10K ... (see below the ebay link)

Looks like it has an early service dial, insert as well.

Ken, looks like a counterfeit to me also. The coronet on the dial is close - but not close enough as that on genuine dials.
