5508 - Dial does not seem right, any thoughts?
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 ...

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