New 5513, Maxi Dial.

Hi Guys, I picked this 5513 up today, my first vintage Rolex, it's a fantastic looking watch. Serial No. is a 67*****

I'm pretty sure it's a Maxi Dial III, can somebody confirm this for me.

Thanks.

Thanks guys, I'm very happy with this.

I got a phone call from my local guy before it was advertised to see if I was interested, glad I said yes, I don't think it would have lasted long.

I thought the "strokes" - on f and t lined up on a maxi dial? I'm confused

Hi,

The exception is the Mark III, f and t do not line up, check out the pic. of the Mark III in your link.

Also on the Mark III there is a small horizontal stroke on the bottom of the 'f'. None of the other Maxi's have this.

The plots touching the 5 min markers is another indication of a Mark III.

Hope this helps

Donald

Interesting... And nice catch. So this means that my 1977 5512 has a Maxi Dial Mark III dial?

Can't see the pic. that well, you have four line text there above six o'clock, the lume plots look larger but not touching the hour markers, so I don't think it's a Mark III.

Any better pics.

We need the experts here, I'm a beginner and was going off that site to work out what I had, not sure about yours.

Hopefully somebody will chime in and help.
