5513 Bezel

[scooba]

Hi does anyone know if a 5513 from 1969 bezel should be unidirectional as in no click

Thank you

Not unidirectional. No click. As indicated below, in principle the bezels had a press-down auto-lock feature, but I rarely find that it is very noticeable.

Hang on. What’s the deal with those crown guards on the illustrations? Especially the top one. They look awfully pointed to me.

Yes, it's funny that they used an illustration of an older watch in that brochure. You'll find many anomalies like that in Rolex literature.

Sure will - and here are two of my favorites, which challenge the oft stated 'fact' that submariners came from the factory in the '60s and 70's with perfectly symmetrical lugs and crown guards.

If resales, both of these examples would be criticized for being 'over polished'.

My 66/67 5513 (1.6mm) is bidirectional with no clicks. And it came back from RSC a year ago the same way…just a whole lot smoother.
