Hello Experts - Please see attached (rather poor) pic. Diameter is approx. 20mm. Dark areas are the typical "Rolex green" and the light areas metallic gold. Would a '60s 5513 Sub have had a caseback sticker like this? If not, where/when would this sticker have been used? Many thanks!

It looks like the counterfeit ones being sold on ebay by someone in Germany I believe.

Thanks John. Sad to hear it's most likely fake, but what is it a counterfeit of? Is it a copy of a caseback sticker that was actually used - like the later holograms - or is it part of the box/papers set? Thanks again.

Agree with JP :-( I have seen more of the real ones loose and in box sets than on case backs. They did not survive long if left on the case back and worn. M

yes, case-back stickers like this were used - no comment re authenticity...

Yes, looks like a non original rolex sticker (fake).

Thanks to all. Disappointed it's a fake. I should have checked here before buying. Live and learn......
