Authentication Notes
Dial
HighProbable
Dial generation must match production year
Gilt (to mid-1960s), then matte with painted markers, then glossy 'maxi' dials late in the run. A gloss white-gold-surround dial on an early case is a red flag.
Lume
Medium
Tritium era markings
Expect 'SWISS' or 'T SWISS T' / 'SWISS - T<25' at 6 o'clock for tritium-era dials. LumiNova ('SWISS MADE') on a 5513 dial is incorrect for the reference's period.
