jerkstore Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) 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!

jerkstore Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) 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)? Thanksoooo nice case! id love to measure that with calipers You've got PM.

Nanuq Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 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. http://www.vintagesubmariner.com/gallery.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 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. http://www.network54.com/Forum/207593/thread/1340830196/5512+crown At 26.5mm, Ingod's dial is too large for my dial seat -- 26.3mm.

quaresma7 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Very nice case my friend!! As I told you in pm Ingod has a nice 5513 gilt dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torresp Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
