Which 5513 dial for this case?

[jerkstore]

The 5513 was produced for around thirty years. Over that time, it saw many dial variations.

I would appreciate your help deciding which one to match to this case.

It's a gen midcase with serial number removed. Based on its thin profile and original tube, a 24-7000, I would date it to the mid-to-late 60's. Do you agree?

A 700 crown screws down perfectly.

What dial(s) are correct for it?

Thanks!

oooo nice case! id love to measure that with calipers

Breaking it down, my case has:

(1) rounded crown guards, ie not pointy

(2) thinnish case

(3) 700 crown

What dial would you fit? Gilt, meters first, or feet first?

What's correct for (1)-(3)?

Thanks

oooo nice case! id love to measure that with calipers

You've got PM.

This is the dial for you, it's an Ingod tropical lovingly vintageized by yours truly. 200m? Pfffffft, let the whiners whine ... this is to please YOU not them. Although it IS a valid early 60s combination.

Nanuq, thanks for the suggestion!  Anybody else have a gen spec (26mm) dial they want to part with?

 

Also, I did some reading, and it looks like the 701 crown wasn't introduced until January of 1972.  That means a 700 crown works on gilt, meters first, or early feet first (ie, non-maxi) dials.

At 26.5mm, Ingod's dial is too large for my dial seat -- 26.3mm.

Very nice case my friend!!

 

As I told you in pm Ingod has a nice 5513 gilt dial

Whatever you want...

 

That case was made (with this crown) till 2,4 million serial. I have a red 1680 from '72 with that crown so a feet first dial will be ok also.
