Didn't Know ROLEX offered a legit 5513 "Maxi Dial" in 1967?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:AAQ:US:1123
Serial # 2mil. & Seller seems to have a real decent reputation, but as an owner of a 1977 Maxi Dial # 5,2 mil... I had learned thru our forum that the true "Maxi Dial" title didn't begin until approx. 1976. The ebay seller seems to sell alot of ROLEX. Did they slip up? or pull the info out of thin air? Any ideas? One addl. source I recv'd info besides Steve M. was from the following site: http://doubleredseadweller.com/5513maxi.htm |

good find Rick. I don't know what is going on here, I always considered rick$amy to be a "good" seller, the dial shown here is incorrect for a 2.1M serail 5513.
Submariner should be below the depth rating, not above it. seller claims that the dial not replaced during service. I say that the dial HAS been replaced. |

The dial looks like a type III maxi from around the 5/6M serial number mark.
Definitely misleading listing as the dial has been changed, maybe not in the last service then before that. I would also question the hands, they look to be in exceptional condition to be aroundg fifty years old. |
