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!

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. :)

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.  :(

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.
