Urgent Help 5513 Meters First

Dear all

I am after some advice regarding a piece I am looking at.
Advertised as a 5513 Meters First.
Serial number 5 millions
Purchased in 1978
They say dial has been relumed.

I did not think that a 1978 5513 could have a meters first dial. Is this correct?

Cheers in advance. Desperate to find out as seller has another 2 keen buyers.

Most would regard up to 2.2mil serial no. as acceptable. Some may stretch to 2.3 to 2.4. It should be no for 5mil.

I think I saw this on chrono24 while looking got a 5513

The dial and case periods are discordant. Not saying they are fake, just that it's a mix and match.
