My 5513 gained 47 seconds and I'm thrilled!
Gained 47 seconds in 60 days of ownership that is! Wow, what an accuracy for a 45-year old watch; better than any modern watch I've owned.
Oh, and what a delight to strap on this "ultimate tool" watch that can take everything you can dish out. I've used it doing yard work, carpentry, cooking, and everything in between. Next is to have her tested for water proofing before summer so that she could get wet safely  I was ready to pull the trigger on a 1680 Red, but then I asked myself why? I love the 1680 Red and may oneday still pull the trigger, but for now I'm grinning ear to ear everytime I strap on the 5513. What a value for an awesome vintage! Thanks for looking! Cheers! BobP |

It just goes to show that vintage watches can run just as good if not better than their modern counterparts.

I love it. That is a great looking watch. Your strap is very cool looking. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking
