This thread needs more pics. Here is my 1977 Maxi MK1 that is currently at LAWW for a proper lug polishing to bring back the chamfers and installation of an OEM super dome crystal. I’ll post the before and after pics in a new thread once it comes home. So glad I bought this reference when I did about three years ago as I could never justify the current purchase price for 5513 Maxi MK1s IMG_0113.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The Meters First 5513 Subs with matte dial were only produced for around 3 years from ca. mid 1966 to approx. 1969/early 1970. while the Feet First 5513 Subs were produced for around 20 years from 1970 to ca. 1989; thus making the Meters First (MF) matte dial 5513 Subs much rarer than the Feet First (FF) ones.

I have actually seen later maxi dialed pieces sell faster than a MF variant in equal condition. It is the big "why?" when it comes to 5513's. |

I have both a MF and a maxi and I would pick the maxi any day.Those huge plots under the T19 are a thing of beauty.

As explained personal preference. Initially subs didn’t have it either. It took closer to 20 years for Rolex to add a date on a Submariner. Sorry if this was a touchy thing to say.

Meters First for me. Granted ‘67 is a birthyear, but just something about ‘em !! ------ Instagram: @mattedialdoc |

Good point. Back in the 1970s and 80s, when a lot of these Subs and Sea Dwellers were made, it was easily possible to be on a trip where there was no place to access the date other your watch.

I think once you start getting into MF VS FF, Serif VS none Serif, Maxi VS no Maxi, is just all personal preference for matte 5513's at that point. |

I have a sub 5513 MF, glossy I think, not a geek on these things. It is in excellent condition and recently serviced. Bought it new in Singapore Dec 69 and don’t have a clue of its value. I live in the UK. It appears to me that if I sold it I would get a lot more for it in the US than in the U.K, is that correct?

Hard to know when to jump before the bubble bursts. I think it has to happen on some of the ridiculous 5513s but I'm not surprised if the gilt subs go the way of red Daytonas! I keep trying to jump back in on theses subs but a 16800 for 10K? Wow, I remember the good ole days ....

I paid more for my new 5513 than I paid for my brown GMT. Not really long after that purchase. Still; when quality is right the price is just a number. (I try to trick myself)
