Lume @ 3 "o'clock looks a bit sloppy.
But, I really can't say. It's strange, I see some dials where I "Know" its a re-lume but then someone says "all original". In short, I'll let someone else confirm or deny. Do you have any other info on the watch... production year (Serial) etc. or better pictures ?

non-expert opinion
It has that "colored in the lines" look of a relume.

Ok. So, the dial has most likely been replaced. A 1967 should be a meters first. If your trying to buy this watch, definitely get some more pictures. Unless, this is offered at an absolute steal-lol

As someone else pointed out the watch most likely dates to around 1969-70. Meters first dials, as in the text 200m = 660ft were changed around 1970 to 660ft=200m. Also watches sent in to Rolex for servicing were often changed later on to the "Updated Dial". This is not an issue for a 2.2 million 5513 as it could most likely have either. The year engraving in the caseback could help get a better idea as to the exact year of production.

How do you figure the case is in excellent shape?
Are you just going by their description... P.S 4K is by no means a steal, quite average. Most importantly HAS THE WATCH BEEN SERVICED w/ proof like papers etc.

Well, if you like the watch buy it. Servicing will cost 550.00 ish and a 93150 will run a bit more than that. A cool NATO can be bought for relatively inexpensive.
-Cheers.

If the caseback says IV 68 , probably should have meters first...
