New 5513

Guys

Happened upon this by chance at an AD I sometimes look in on. Complete set along with a recent service from RSC London. Could not resist it!

Thanks guys - it was one of those occasions that arrived by sheer chance. I had been and still am looking for a 5513 maxi dial, however when this particular watch showed up, it was a case of do I go for it or just let it go? I have missed a few Rolexes in the past due to not seizing the opportunity, and have flipped one or two, and have ended up regretting it! I figured it might be hard to locate one as good as this with box, all papers, and an RSC London service etc, and also as it was coming out of the same AD who first sold it back in 1989 as a 9 mil serial, it was too good an opportunity to let slip! I think the lesson for me is that as these things become rarer and harder to source over time, grab any good ones that come along!
