Shipping is pretty quick

FYI insurance is 2% of estimated value plus I think it was $33 shipping. Also I serviced the watch though him.

I bought the watch locally from a "cash for gold" type place - not really a "pawn shop" - but close. I paid $1600 but it has box and papers, plus the restoration cost...

BTW it has aftermarket spring bars, someone must of had it on a leather strap and lost them so they are on their way - so the end links should be nice and tight then.

Nice. I'm sending MY a band for an old 5513 this week myself. That guy does magic with fixing band stretch.
