flex Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 A member of the forum emailed me if i could take some pics to show the differences between the cartel 5513 and my gen (circa 63). My gen is the earlier sub with the thin case. (the later production of 5513 has the thick case). My gen has a service 'flat' plexi. The cartel is untouched, un-modded. The gen bezel has deeper cut. The case-back is also thinner. The cartel case-back is so thick almost as thick as the 1665 sea-dweller. Neither phong's, or genuine case-back will not fit the cartel case-set.

Ephry73 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I wonder if the gen bezel and plexi would fit. Thanks for the comparison shots. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 how does the build quality feel on that cartel? i had a PT and the metal just didnt feel right and the finishing wasnt up to par. once they fix those stumpy cgs the cartel could be decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Scope Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for the comparison. Very helpfull I will see if a yuki caseback will fit tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexaddict Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 this is not really helpfull, just trouble/artistic pictures, nice pics, I admit, but in fact what we need is blue prints and stop with sterile comparisons, case thickness ? outside rehaut wall high ? inside/outside rehaut diameter ? youknow what we want ? I know, let me 2 hours (dinner time) If I am not to much drunk I will show you what we need, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Never realized the thick caseback. Maybe it can be shaved a little bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flex Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I tired it on the other night. do you have much success? ironcially, the cartel 1665 SD caseback fits perfectly on the 5513.. Thanks for the comparison. Very helpfull I will see if a yuki caseback will fit tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 i tried the gen insert.. fits perfectly crystal fitted ok too, but i didn't want to put the retention ring and bezel ring on. too much to risk my gen doomed plexi.

lloyd Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 i tried the gen insert.. fits perfectly crystal fitted ok too, but i didn't want to put the retention ring and bezel ring on. too much to risk my gen doomed plexi. The retention ring and bezel ring fit well. The back is actually like the gen. Take a look at this one. http://www.network54.com/Forum/207673/thread/1311005826/FS-+Rolex+5513+Submariner+Matte+Dial+w-+Rolex+Service+Warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
