I just got my 5513 (204xxxx) back from Basch's Watch Repair in North Olmsted, OH this morning. It looks and runs beautifully. He didn't do any polishing, just changed the barrel, mainspring, crystal and gaskets as part of the full service. During it's previous service in 1980 by Sutter's in Chicago I think they over polished the lower right lug but that's water over the dam. It's taking some getting used to. Compared to my Exp II, it's lighter and the hands look like look like needles. The bracelet is a 93150 I obtained in 1985. The original riveted bracelet was stretched, I didn't like the looks of it and I wanted a Flip-Lock anyway.
