5513 - Replacement Bezel Insert vs Original

[Blaner]

Can anyone help me understand how to tell a replacement bezel insert on a 5513 from an original?

JessyW is selling this watch on the forum, and has indicated that it is a replacement insert

Then I saw this one that says original, but they look the same to me?

And then there's this one, which doesn't say either way but I have no idea what I'd be looking at

They’re all pretty different from each other.
Take a look at the “4” in 40. They’re all different.
Jessy’s insert has very thin fonts (as seen in service inserts, like the one shown) compared to the next one down, which have thicker fonts. The last “4” has that flat top...

There is no definitive guide depends on who you ask. If u search online, u can get some ideas of which is fat font and which isn’t. There are too many variations. The above observation is correct. The first one is a service insert, the second one is mark 3.1 fat font, and the third is the flat four mid font.


I blame it on autoconnect.

Long 5 or fat font are ok, thin writing is to avoid

Anyone see any authenticity issues with the 2nd and 3rd links?

WOW! How so? What "issues" ring the bell to you?
Or was that a general question about the pieces posted on that site?

The second one specifically...the serial number stamping seems very shallow. In addition, the 5513 doesn't seem very lined up on the model number stamping on the case - the 5s don't seem identically aligned and the 1 seems low.
