That is a gorgeous 5513. A am looking for one myself. This sort of year as well.
Is that a mark IV dial? |

No box and papers. A plus to have them but for these vintage the most important for me would be condition, condition, and condition.

Overall, beautiful Sub with a great case. The slight corrosion on the hands might bug me a little, but it's fairly minor. What's the beginning of the serial number?

Depends how picky you are. I'd leave these hands alone. The patina is close and the corrosion is pretty minor. Sourcing a separate set of hands that match perfectly would be very difficult and probably not worth it.
Virtually any vintage watch will at least have some kind of minor issue. Just depends what kind of thing bugs you and what you accept as natural aging and wear and tear on a watch. |
