The meter 1st are earlier version of the model. The dial of 5513 started with meter first then change to feet first.

Not to say which one is ore expensive as it all depend on the condition. Of course if both are in mint condition then I would guess the meter first dial would sell at a higher price.

There's also gilt and matte dial to be consider as well.

Just to give you an example, here's a gilt dial meter first 5513

Can we set the parameters first...vintage can be such a loosely used term...as far as i can remember, when it comes to cars...25-50 years old is refered as classic, while more than 50 years is vintage. Does it apply to watches as well? :mooning:

[i

5513 now on Nato James Bond strap

what a perfect specimen. Im guessing you probably paid top dollar for this piece.
Came across one piece which i posted some pics on the forum. But i passed due to the condition, mind PM me your damage for this piece?

A before and after pictures of my 5513, took me ages to find a correct tritium lum dot though. The little handiwork was posted in link below. First impression can be deceptive!

Hi siewming , thanks for sharing. You have an older Rolex pocket watch. How old is that watch in your post. Thanks.

Hi H.Chang, the Rolex pocket watch was an army issued General Service Mk II dated to pre ww2.  It has a 15J Rolex signed movement  made by Cortebert.
