5513 inserts

Hi,

I have been looking around for sometime, but possibly need ur advice on my 5513´s inserts/dials,

What do u think of them?
Looks like my 5513 meters first insert is from a later version (70’s)?

5513 meters first -1968 1.76 serial
5513 glossy - 1988 R364 serial


Thank you for your help and sharing ur expertise, always a pleasure to read u all!

Your time looking at my watches is much appreciated,

Greetings from Belgium

Nice watches👍🏻😊
Here is my opinion! Your 88 has a service insert and needs a correct mk4, and your 67 has a 70s mk3 fat font insert. The correct insert for a 67 5513 meters first is a long 5 insert.
I’ve included a picture of a comparison that is available online and a picture of an mk4 I have.

Good picture.
It’s missing the earliest mk3 (3.1), the skinny 4, the mk2 (non long 5), etc.

Interestingly, his is a 3.1.

Could you share a pic of the mk2 (non long 5). Not sure which one you mean?
Thanks.

The 1988 insert is original and not a service insert.
