Here is an interesting 5513 Submariner, with pointed crown guards and a dial from who-knows-where. What I found notable about the seller is his feedback rating - a positive rating of 47,125 with no negative feedbacks.

You need to read the whole listing because, later, he writes that the dial has been refinished. The watch has been "rode hard and put up wet," especially the movement. Watchout for this one TRF bargain hunters!

I'm thinking like you Mike, but I doubt my watchmaker would touch that movement! Maybe the Captain has a dial for the watch.

oh god,this one has been frankensteined to the hilt!
that movement has definitely been assembled from a couple of other movements and held together with bubble gum!
I wont even get into that horrid dial!
you could vomit inside a watch-head and it would look better than that dial and hand combo!
he better sell me the watch cheap to go with my gilt dial!..lol

The whole movement must have seized up by rust , just look at the hands ... Better to spent some more money on buying a decent one then spending a fortune to bring this thing back to live .
