Errrrr , it's a 5513 Milsub

It is not a 5513/7 double reference Milsub which would have 5516 on the back of the pig

It is not a 5517 Milsub which would have 5517 between the lugs .

There are three models of 'milsub'

That lump must have been there from the time of manufacture as the watch is mint+

lol .... that's one of my best middle of the night jet lag posts yet ...


Probably six months from now going to log on to a forum to find that people are posting with authority that they don't consider it a proper milsub unless it's got a miniature pig on the back :-(....
