5513 domes, difference?

Hi guys,

Can anyone explain and show to me the difference between the different plastic domes available (new or NOS/vintage) for the 5513?

For example is it possible to put a T39 super dome on a 5513?

I have looked for the picture that I remember seeing, but I am almost positive that I have seen a 5513 with a T39 Super dome. I just can't find the picture when I search.

I know this is not EXACTLY what you are looking for, but check this thread......

Thanks Jason.

So a T39 will fit 5513? I'm sure that would look cool!

Aftermarket? Safe?

Where can I find aftermarket ones?

I would love the super dome look on my 5513.

Yes, it is possible to install t39 on 1680 and 5513. See below thread.

PM me if you need T39 superdome. I have a spare..

Are Tropic 39 service domes still available from Rolex?
If so does anyone know the price? Isn't the service domes of acrylic rather in expensive?
