JoJo35 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 A nice later model closed six matte variant. Do you have an old case you can throw it into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 A nice later model closed six matte variant. Do you have an old case you can throw it into? Thanks B, Just a MBK 5512 case. Was also considering a re-lume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo35 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 The only prob with that is the rehaut of the case is a little too small. You might want to try and find a 5512 dial for the MBW case. The only correct 5513 rep cases I've seen are the Vietnam ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Looks nice, but another crap lume job. If you get it, be sure to have the lume re-worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I agree with Ubi. Also, while you can never say never with vintage Rolex, I think the crown is wrong for a 60s+ series Sub. It looks more like the large-mouthed designs used on earlier 50s series Subs. Compare the crown on your dial with the crown on this gen 5513 Now compare with the crown on this gen 6536/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking what JoJo is saying is that the 5513 dial might be too big for the 5512 MBW case. A Yuki watch case might take the 5513 dial, but I don't know how a 2836-2 would work- you might have to go the full franken route w/ a Rolex 1520 movement.

But not only that, the rehaut is obviously smaller on a 5512, and is a dead give away (IMO) as fake if a 5513 or 1680 dial is installed.

alligoat Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Interesting! So a 5512 is a different case, w/ a shallower rehaut? Would that mean a 1560/1570 movt is slightly thicker than a 1530/1520 movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 after a trip up north i think that dial would be a nice addition interesting observation re: the 5512 jojo -- i had no idea it had a thinner rehaut than the 5513 deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Would that mean a 1560/1570 movt is slightly thicker than a 1530/1520 movement? I believe the height of both calibers is the same - 5.75mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
