Fwaaaaaaar
Oh Jeez, petulant deletion is contagious, evidently. Anyway, your two-tone Daytona doesn't appear on either the Here and Now or the Been and Gone pages.
don't understand this at all - the Learning to fly posting has been deleted
all I did was start the thread with an image and a few comments
Learning to fly then posted "Mine" - I thought he mean't that my watch had originally been owned by him - so I stated when and where I bought it - L to F them seems to have taken offence, (?) and deleted his post ......... I just don't understand what has happened
another one of those confusing threads?
To be fair here too, I’ve noticed in the last couple of weeks that trying to edit a post results in its deletion, so perhaps that’s happened to Tony when he tried to clear things up after an ambiguous initial response :)
Thank you.
I’ve been told that it has a later maxi dial and probably, as the hands and bezel pip match, a later set of hands and bezel too. It smacks of having had a Rolex service at some time. I think that the jubilee bracelet suits it.
Pete.
Very pretty watch. Had a great MK5 from Bluetinfloor which I should have kept for 20 years in a deposit box but something new and shiny always pops up.
just wonder how many different "styles" of the 5513 there are
maybe there is a web site with an image etc., of every version throughout the years?

Please read it before I delete it:-)
Some useful info here on 5513 maxi dials

I will add pics later to my 1983 mk5 maxi dial

5513, 14060M, 124060 comparison and a few more. Wish I still had it but I was always paranoid of knocking it and the lume falling out of one of the hands. Would be a great one for special occasions.
Lovely 5513 Billln.
The 124060 depicted above looks very ungainly in comparison to all of the other watches in the thread.
Here’s my two 5513’s…metres first and a maxi…
Well worth the wait!
This thread is giving me twinges, I nearly bought a 5513 from Mike Wood ten years ago but held off. Then prices went through the roof. I have a matte dial 16800 but would prefer no-date and the plexy. Oh well.

Horrible old things!
Added a aftermarket easy link after removing the divers extension, game changer for comfort on the 93150.
My one.
Would still like a maxi dial mk1 at some point for no good reason
The faded bezel on some of these looks bloody great!
My favourite thread at the moment, keep them coming

Can’t remember the last time I wore this, good excuse to get it out. Quarter VI (!) 1966
Here you have something interesting from best Polish magican
I'm against polishing old watches but this one is good that i think i would consider doing it to my 5513 (unfortunately i don't have one:)

That is lovely and would possibly do on an already polished watch but you would obviously be able to tell it was refinished.
Not sure I'd do it on a watch with original lines even if a bit banged up.
Do you have a link for this restorer?
