Help Identifying 5513 insert
Does this look like a MK 3 insert? Seller says it is from the 70’s and is guaranteed to be authentic Rolex.

So you are saying it is a later service insert that has been artificially aged?

Yea, it’s hard for me to tell without having them side by side. Thanks for the input.

IMHO, this insert was found in the late 70s before the 2 flat four.
A better picture would help ! Regarding the Mk3 thing, it is hard to answer as it means different things depending on who you are talking to... |

This is a late 70s MK3 insert. It is the thinnest out of all the MK3s.
It is not a service insert Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was looking at this insert on eBay also, it’s just hard to authenticate a lot of the time

Just something to keep in mind. Aside from authenticity, a bezel with thin-printed font like this one is not as desirable as one with fat printing.

So I ended up buying that insert for about $700. Just now got around to installing it on my birth year 5513. May not be period correct but I like it.
