Sub 5513 Bezel Insert Question
I plan to change the bezel insert on my 5513 submariner. I know it doesn't have any "clicks" and is bi-directional with an acrylic crystal but is there any fundamental difference to changing the insert compared to current models ? Does it even have a tension spring ?
Also since the 5513 had a long production run are all inserts the same size ?

Sorry Tools, you've missed my point. I know there are differences between models but I wondered if all 5513 inserts are the same as this model went through a number of changes over many years.

A new replacement insert will have a luminova dot at 12 which will glow green instead of the tritium one found on the original.
