5513 Dial thoughts

[MrLemon]

Hello friends and experts

Please see the 5513 in the link pictures
According to serial number it is from 67
My question is on the lume plots (hour markers)
Why the markers seperate from the white color bases?
The lume look original, are they lost during years?

Thank you for opinions!

The waffle texture was common. And tritium application back then was often imperfect. However, that dial is not from 1967. More like early to mid-'70s.

This site is a great resource on these dials.

That dial is not original to that case. The 1.2 cases would be around 1965 and contain gilt dials.
