5513 Dial Question
Hi,
I just purchased a 5513 from an old customer of mine, he believes the dial, hands and insert are "replacements". Now the hands are definitely AM and insert too, but I'm wondering if the dial is perhaps original but relumed, or original but refinished instead of completely AM...also definitely not a service dial. It looks relumed to me, but others have the thought its 100% AM. What are your thoughts? Image album: https://imgur.com/a/9sKALRB |

I vote not original, either redone or completely aftermarket (aka fake). Font looks too thick. Lume looks suspiciously perfect too.

The spacings and font on the ‘subm a riner’ are not great.

Fake dial and fake hands, also they used the wrong second hand with the long tube so it sits too high.
Best is to get rid of the dial and hands find an original set. Preferably period correct, or if that is impossible an original service dial and handset. The insert is also fake, best to replace it with an original one. |
