So i previously posted a thread regarding a birth year watch and am pretty new to the 4 series. Any thoughts on the watch before i pull the trigger? Its an L series watch.

I have a L serial 5513 which has an N stamped clasp. I think the watch you are looking at has an L stamp which places the bracelet two years older than mine but it could be original to the watch. It looks like those marks on the rehaut between 12 and 2 are just reflections, if so it looks pretty good to me. Mine has it's original Flat 4 insert I suspect the insert in that watch is a replacement but I'm not an expert and happy to be corrected. All in all looks good to me and the last of the 5513's with glossy dial are still good value in my view. I guess it depends on the price in the UK they are around £6.5k from a dealer without B&P. Good luck

Any other thoughts?

Does the watch look polished? And does the insert look ok?

Will be meeting the seller on Monday to take a look at it. Hopefully an incoming post soon. In the meantime, any more thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Seven o'clock lug looks too small and the insert is not original.

Aftermarket insert? Or service insert? What are the tell tale signs?
