Thoughts on this 5513

May I get the experts' thoughts on this one? I have noticed the slight lume damage but other than that?

If you could pick it up on the cheap Id say its ok. Obviously the lume on the 5 plot which you noted, and on the seconds hand. Pip is mostly gone but the insert is in good shape. The lugs don't look too bad but the crown guards are pretty heavily polished. Looks to be a service crystal as well which is possibly cracked at the 5 o'clock plot area. Hope this helps. If you can get any more pics it would help.

Thank you. Here are a couple more pics. I will most likely pass, but always good to get a fresh set of eyes.

Too many good examples out there. You won't be happy with that dial!

The pip is an easy fix, but the dial would move me on.
Agree with the other post, lugs are ok but crown guards are a little over worked.

No one wants to talk about the insert and bracelet?
