"Correct" crystal for a 5513?
What is the period correct crystal for a late-70's maxi-dial 5513? I have been looking for a while and would like to buy a clean, original 5513. I have found a couple for sale by reputable sellers but there is definitely variation in the crystals. One of the watches has a t39 superdome crystal which looks great. I have read about water/humidity issues with the superdome crystals, but my question is whether this is period correct for this model or is this some sort of Frankenwatch?

a 5513 crystals is a Tropic 19 …t19. this comes in many different versions depending how old it is from super dome through to the modern service glass…..
the T39 is a sea dweller glass…..it will fit on a 5513 and will pressure up , but it will sit very high above the bezel and insert. if you search the forum you will find there are many discussions on the different glasses. |

Thanks Jedly1. I have done a search and read many of the previous posts on this. I just wasn't sure if a 5513 ever left the factory with a T39 crystal. I appreciate your reply which confirms that the T19 crystal is the correct OEM part for this watch.

T19 dome and T19 service. The service T19 is more flat.
