I've searched and can't find it anywhere (for a 5513 with meters first). Kind of a bummer. Probably will just sit in the watch box. If anyone is interested let me know.

Apparently it only existed in a much later glossy dial with white gold surrounding the hour indices. Not sure why MBW would have produced your dial version.

Great work! Would love to be able to do this...

Mine is due to arrive on Monday.

Can anyone tell me what size of springbars will fit, without drilling the lug holes?

the one shown in OP is correct - the other way around I dont think actually existed

It didn't. You're right. (Apart from glossy dial and white gold around the indices)

You are correct my friend. I thought you were talking about just the submariner above.

But it seems the ones we are receiving are correct? Submariner below and meters first?

Yes, the one shown by the OP in this thread is totally accurate. The only reason I got the 5512 instead of the 5513 was because I was concerned by the dial shown in the original sales thread!

I've done a fairly thorough check and I can't find any examples of a metres first dial with Submariner on top of the depth rating. It certainly exists for a feet first dial.

The link to the site below gives a really comprehensive history of 5513 dials and the metres first, with Submariner above, isn't shown or mentioned...

Also, in the thread link below to the Rolex Forum, it mentions metres first, Submariner above but ONLY in a glossy dial with white gold around the markers, which isn't what the MBW version is.

Would be happy to be proved wrong!

I'm waiting for my 5512 to arrive.

It's interesting to note that the dial shown on the 5513 from the OP (above) is different to the one that was shown in Rolexfinder's original sales post.

In the sales post it was a metres first dial with Submariner above the depth rating. I'm not sure that ever existed on a 5513. On the watch that is shown above, Submariner is below the depth rating.

Is that not a 5512?

Looks good! I'm waiting for my 5512 from Rolexfinder

Is it just the lighting or has the insert been aged?

Thanks. There isn't a date display on the Pam 253, so in that case, the ETA 7753 should fit?

I've just bought a very nice H factory PAM 253 from an m2m deal on here.

I have a new ETA 7753 movement (Seconds at 9, 30 minutes at 3, 12 hours at 6) will this directly replace the A7750/7753 movement that is currently fitted?

I'm presuming it must be an A7753 that's in the watch now, as it has the 30 minute sub dial at 3? One thing that puzzles me tho, is if I pull the crown out to what would be the first stop date change position, when I rotate it I can hear a mechanism clicking inside, with each turn. I thought the 7753 had a quick change date function at 10?

Any help or comments would be appreciated...
