Help on a 5513 that is offered to me

[francoiscevert]

Hello

I found a imo nice looking 5513 in online auction.

I contacted the seller and now he is really pushing to sell the watch.

This confuses me a bit and I don't know his motivation behind it.

I'd be very happy if you could share your opinions on this watch.

Because I have no clue if the riveted bracelet is legit and the crown looks somehow suspicious.

And he is offering either inlay version.

The watch is offered at 9250USD

Thanks in advance for any help.

The crown may not look correct - but stranger things have been known - https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=342623

Same goes for the bracelet - but if you're about to chuck over $9k after this, take your time.

If someone is trying to pressure you into buying, either it's the first bite he's had in a long time, or something 'aint right in the state of Denmark

The question you need to be asking yourself right now, is "could I get something more original for the money" - against - "how much would it cost to get this one back to original"

As far as the watch performance is concerned, it'll perform just as well either way - but you'll be the one looking at it every day .....
