Help with 5513 Maxi Mark I

Hi,

Thoughts on this 5513 Maxi Mark I would be much appreciated. Does it look correct? Condition etc ...

Thanks,

JG

Looks like a very nice example to me and is priced as such.

That is not a MK I maxi. That dial is a serif dial which belongs to earlier serial range(3-4 mil).

Check http://www.5513mattedial.com by a fellow TRFer

That’s a nice insert. Is that correct for the 77-78 5513’s

Case back is marked I 70 ??

The Seller either inserted wrong picture in listing or the watch has the wrong case back for a 6 mil serial watch. As been stated by Turbo it's not a Maxi dial.

How about this Maxi Mark I? Does this look legit? Dial? Hands? Case?

The dial & hands look like a Correct Mk1 Maxi

Make sure the serial # range is correct for it; 5 mil serial would be correct.
I'm not certain about the insert. Font appears thin but its hard to tell from these pics.

Just confirming the insert is service. And the big dent on the lower right lug will be hard to correct if u inclined to do so.


I blame it on autoconnect.
