Not a 5513 but this is what I have on at the moment...a nice change from the bracelet, though I will always prefer the 93150

I'd love to see it on the burgundy strap.... Although I think it looks great on either!

Brown for me! I'd also try a distressed suede there too!

My thoughts also.

Beautiful patina on your watch. A fat font insert would finish it off nicely.

I think a vintage strap looks better than a nato.
I understand the history of a military Submariner which was worn with a G10 mod nato.

Any pics of a 5513 with a nato?

A fat font insert is period correct for this watch? If yes any pics?

Yes, your watch would have come with a fat font insert, most likely a MK3 like the one on mine.

I'd put it on a gray nato from phoenix, or the original bracelet.

Great dial. A green and red striped NATO would work.
