I may be wrong but, didn't Rolex in 2000 replace the Zenith movement with current in house?

Same seller had already sold this 5513 but, I don't like the serial # what do you think?

BASSETHOUNDS · 3 March 2010, 11:27 PM

Must be a typo , on documents and the service papers it states U-reg ( '97) but serviced in 2005 that is Ok for zenith equipped Daytona
However I do not like the modern style US issued green barcode tag ,with a UK watch ... red flag for me !

Earl · 3 March 2010, 11:31 PM

I think the seller is selling crap but, thats my opinion

X2, Tristan, 1997 U serial would be Zenith, the Zentih was replace by the 4130 from 2000 onward.

Can't see anything wrong with that. It's a 1998 watch serviced in 2005. Service papers, original papers and tag serials all match.

What more do you all want to see?

johnscates · 4 March 2010, 01:42 AM

Is it me or is it two different serial numbers?

TheBluePrince · 4 March 2010, 01:46 AM

It's you, the serial is U379568 in all pics/references.

jnmarshall · 4 March 2010, 03:14 AM

I don't see anything wrong with the auction or the seller. The poster of this thread included pics(of a 5513) that have nothing to do with this.

Auction looks ok to me.... If I was thinking about buying this piece I would want to see pics of the serial to make sure it matches the paperwork.

I was talking about the pics on this forum of the other watch when I stated the serial number differences.

There is one thing I mentioned on my previous post :
I believe these green tags with barcode did not appear till much later in my opinion .

Oh i see. the 5513 pics on this thread shouldn't be here. Completely different watch and issue (if there is one).

Not sure exactly when they appeared tbh. I've never seen fake one's though that look right like that. The watch is a US watch btw, not UK.

Yes , I did correct that it is indeed US watch with US papers .

Prince · 4 March 2010, 04:17 AM

The watch itself may be legit, but NOT from 2005.

Read the thread again please. Watch is new from (10 August) 1998. Watch was serviced in (23 May) 2005.

Purchased by Mr. Wickes from Carlyle and Co, and serviced by Mr Wickes also.

My bad on the mix of pictures.. I caught the 5513's serial first and that was all wrong... but since it had been sold I looked further... Sorry for the confusion.

blaine mattison · 4 March 2010, 04:51 AM

the 5513 serial numbers are FINE.

from a post above, a U.K. watch??>?> U.S.A watch

a very nice looking daytona.

springer · 4 March 2010, 01:47 PM

I agree on the 5513. The model and serial number stampings look 100% genuine.

Earl · 4 March 2010, 08:53 PM

Scratching my head thinking didn't realize the 1st # the 8 looks so etched by an individual with not a steady hand and with different hardness of point as it was just dinging the surface almost like vertical infinity symbol. I'll be pulling my neck back in and be on my way. Sorry for all the confusion, I'll continue to allow the experts do the checks. Have a nice day and again my apology.

Don't sweat it Earl, I had to look over the listing a few times before picking up the serial :-)
