Engravings on a 5513 - LEGIT?

Knowledgeable Lady and Gentlemen,

These look weird to me, watch looks ok otherwise.

Verdict?

Thank you so much!

The one does look odd to me. None of my watches from that era have the underscore to the 1

Fives are off too, upper half should be longer (I guess...)

Agreed regarding the 1. Looks off. But if faked, its scary good. Show rest of case and it will be helpful.

@007Sub, I'm avoiding exposing the seller. Other pics might reveal him. Sorry

The "1" is legit. It's just one of the variations used on case engravings.

Why do people come on to the forum asking for advice, and then never bother taking it? The truth will bear any examination.👍

This is the 2nd watch you show secretive pics... The first one with the dial blacked out and shows just the plots, now this... Weird...

Thank you all for the true expertise. I did not know at all there were two fonts on engravings.

The OP doesn’t want to reveal the seller / watch so other members can buy it before him
