Good advice above, I should have mentioned something to this effect. A majority of the 5513's out there will have service parts on them and there is nothing wrong with that. Trying to restore a watch to its original condition can be an expensive and time consuming project and for many it is not necessary. Some folks only want the "original" and some do not care. It is much easier if you fall into the latter...Either way it is still a vintage Rolex.

Being this is a watch forum full of watch enthusiasts you will hear different opinions on that. Personally I am one of the folks that looks for the all original piece but that is just my preference. You also pay a premium for those watches.
