Icon7 My First Vintage

Have wanted to but a Sub vintage for some time
so when this 5513 came along I bit the bullet.

What do you think?

Very nice "Pre-Comex"!
From what I can see, dial and hands match perfect.
Bezel looks fat, insert seems to be a very nice FF-inlay. Case also looks very nice from this pic!
What's the serial? Something about 5 Mio.?

Enjoy your new beauty
