Is this bezel insert really a fat font?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if this bezel insert is a vintage, fat font one for 5513? That's what the seller claims, but it looks like a newer service bezel insert to me.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Role...vip=true&rt=nc

I still don't see the difference between different 5513 bezel inserts. I guess I have to see different versions in person.

Many thanks in advance!

I think it's a SD insert that will fit the 5513. I believe the flat top on the 4 was SD specific and not the insert of the early 5513's.

It's a mid/late 80's insert, sometimes referred to as a mk4. Primarily found on late gloss dial 5513's.
