Is it supposed to go on your 5513? If yes, then it should be a 25-19 (Tropic19).
What number is your crystal?

So this is a service 25-19 crystal, should fit my 5513 '68

Thanks Lamone

Nope. This crystal is a FAKE. Even the package is faked.

Its a fake because the are trying to sell it as a genuine Rolex article. This is nothing but an aftermarket German T19 crystal. This one has higher (taller) profile than the real T19. This is a crystal that is very popular in HongKong.

Those who are old enough or been in this Rolex game for awhile should know that Rolex started using the sap packaging in the 80's for their service crystals.

Save yourself some money, if you want to go the aftermarket route, get one one Ebay for under $30.00 USD.
