    See below - Gavin nailed it:

    31.6 mm dial for the 36 mm case diameter versions:

    29 mm dial for the 34 mm case diameter versions:

    Above only pertains to the manual wind 26x models made from the mid 50's to the very very early 60's.

    Yeah, but that's Kyle's thing.

    Dunno, I've seen worse. I'd take this one over one cleaner but scratched or a redial. You can also get a newer replacement like Dennis'

    That's true, I never thought about replacing the dial..Although where at all possible i'd prefer all original..rather than the cost of replacing. I guess at the right price...

    I got a nos dial for my Geneve from watchco. Going to get my watchmaker to swap the dial when I bring it for servicing and still keep the original dial.

    Without the "birthmark" on the dial's cheek it would go a lot higher. As it is, it's the last of the highly desired Genèves so I'd bet $1400 - $1575.

    take a chance..who else is taking a chance?this post is costing me money! :p

    Just noticed it has a spot... Hmm, it may not go that high after all ! Has it been polished or is that the finish for these?

    If I wasn't after a Constellation Luxe, I would be chasing one of these Chronos. :(
