Actually, the movement is exactly what the 5510 used.

Only thing changed on this watch are hands, dial, and clasp.

I just heard back from the appraisor today. They appraised it at $16,500USD for insurance purposes. Based on the pictures I have posted, does that seem right or too low? I'm just wondering if I should get a second appraisal or not. Any thoughts or suggestions wuld be appreciated.

MOVT is spot on, and the whole point of a 5510 ratgher than a 6538.

appraisal is tricky.. with redone dial n hands ( the later bracelet wont make that big a difference maybe $1-1.5k or so) it really is as long as a piece of string, for insurance pruposes you would really struggle to find another for that price... but if you looked to sell you probably would be doing Ok to get that.

finding an appraisor with enough information on recent sales to put a hard number on it will be virtually impossible, as there just arent that many, and certainly not many in public.

Is there any way to know if these hands would work? The dial was trying to be passed of as original, but I know the "200m=660ft" text should be white. Any thoughts?

Actually, nevermind this, after really looking at the other pics, this watch is fake from top to bottom.
