5513 Maxi MK3 Authenticity

Was hoping i could get some help here in regards to the 5513 purchased. Someone mention to me that the lume looked funky and that this period does not have domed lume. Any thoughts?

Rolex Submariner Serial-6,01X,XXX
Mark III Maxi dial
There are some drag marks around the 12, 3, 6 & 9. See macro lens images taken.

disclamer: please take what I tell you as an opinion, there are monsters of knowledge floating around these parts !

looks like you have a Mark III maxi dial variant ( which is desirable),

however yes the lume should not be puffy like that, most likely has been re applied, and there are also marks of 'cleaning up 'reshaping' on the surface of the dial, around said markers. not ideal :(

the case is over polished as well, which is a negative by today's standards of 'lust'.

a cool 5513 nonetheless.

I believe you were given some correct advice.

Bad relume job, case looks like it's been polished a little too much, lugs look on the thin side. Just my 0.02
