Seeking opinion / check on Authenticity of 5513

Hi Forum,

I'm offered this 5513, presented as "a daily beater that came out nice after service and a new crystal". To me it looks rather nice, not overly polished, but for me my reservation is if the dail and/or hands are relumed or not. Any other remarks, concerns or advice are all most welcome :-)

Looks good to great to me, I am not an expert but dial looks ok in that it's not refinished. Hands are will defer to an an expert to comment on. Crown is later, the original ones of that era did not have the three dots.
Depending on price, looks tempting!

It's pretty hard to say much about the hands, given that there are people who can re-lume them perfectly these days. What do the UV shots look like?

Looks very nice to me, an attractive watch. It looks possibly like the type of lume that still glows for a very short time after exposure to bright light or under UV. Would expect the dial and hand lume to behave similarly in that regard.

Be sure to check that the serial and reference engravings aren't too worn and that the serial is in the correct range for the dial.

Good luck!
