5513 3.23 mil - meters first Question
Below is a 5513 that I am interested in
Issue is that I am confused, I have investigated the 5513 and discovered the following: 1960-66 (meters first - GILTS including the "Bart Simpson" used to discribe the Crown) 1967-69 (meters first (in white) 1970-1973 (the start of the feet firsts) 1973-83 (the Maxi dials (feet first) of which I think there are 5 known favours) 1984-90 (the glossy dials) This is being represented as a 5513 3.23Mil year 1973. Can someone confirm that this could be an original meters first with this serial and year?  I am hoping to contact the seller tomorrow for additional photos etc. Thanks in advance |

That dial was not born in that case. Also, from the angle of the photo looks like the lume plots have been washed.
