On A 5513, Do They . . .
If an all-original 5513 went in to RSC, they would install a triplock crown as a matter of course. I would like to know: Do they polish or grind the crown shoulders so that the triplock crown will fit?
Thanks. |

5513 Came from Rolex factory with triplock crown and no way are they going to grind anything from a case.

It is my understanding that the 5513 case is the same through the 30+ years of production.
With the early ones being fitted with the twinlock crown/tube and the later ones fitted with the triplock crown/tube. No need for any grinding. |

Hi. You are right. Later 5513 were fitted with 703-0 Triplock crowns, an improvement on the earlier Twinlock crowns (700-0). Tylden.
