5513 or 5512 - what to do?

[bayerische]

5512 would be my pick, but it is also a perfect example how polishing destroys a fine Rolex.

So let's stop the polishing!

Fret for me no longer my friends. Apparently timing is everything, and I'm really really happy someone beat me to the 5513 in this post!

And based on the comments on the 5512, that's off the table now too.

You're fine. I promise you, there are MILLIONS of 5513s that were made, and it is much, much better to do due diligence and even miss a great one because of your diligence, than to pick up a lemon. You'll find a 5513, or a 5512, even more desirable than the one you were eyeing.

5513 appears to be in good shape.
