Submariner Dial Question

New guy here. I just found this site today and have a question about Sub dials.

I've got a 5513 serial number 238XXX. I'm pretty sure it was made in 1969 or so. The dial reads 200m 660ft. The hour markers have been refinished some time in the past, but I never liked the way it looked. Also, the 56-59 minute markers are worn off. Some time ago I got another dial on ebay that looked better. Still refinished, but I like it better(and it glows in the dark). The trouble is that the new dial looks slightly smaller in diameter to me. Does the crystal slightly magnify the dial, thus creating the illusion? Did I get the wrong dial? Did I get a fake dial? Am I imagining all of this? I figured eventually I would have the watch serviced and the dial replaced at the same time. I've owned it for about 5 years.

I appreciate any input on this you guys might have.



And I am aware of the search function but didn't find anything.
