I will have to admit that even though I spent a thousand dollars each for service on the 5513 and 1675 in the last two years I hardly wear them because they are too expensive and valuable to me. (both bought new almost 50 yrs ago). One day on, thirty days off. I will say that I am amazed at the difference in winding. It seems I can just look at the 5513 and it begins running, two turns of the crown or one wiggle of the wrist will do it. If the EXP II is dead it easily takes well over ten turns before it starts moving.
