Vintage 5513 Caseback for $10K !
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Rolex-B...item3a900ed5d2

This seems like an awful lot of money for a caseback....until you read the fine print.

For one person in the world who owns the milsub watch this goes to, it might even be worth more than $10 K !!

I hope they find each other through this auction.....

I think that's light corrosion, anyway - not dirt.

After seeing what an original, in somewhat good shape insert for a 6541 Milgauss goes for...this doesn't surprise me one bit...
