Thanks ppl for the good words, I got the 1970 5513 today after some Fedex shenanigans.
It wears nice, much lighter feel that I'm used to with the gmt/bracelet.

maybe this will be 5513 week? narembeen I'm looking at you.

A lot of people here much more knowledgeable than me. I believe a 1970 should be a feet first dial. May I ask the first three (3) digits of the serial number? I’m sure better experts then myself might chime in. Thanks, J

There's an overlap in 1970 with meters or ft first.
