5512, worth it?

Been advised to post in here too.

I have been looking for a vintage Non Date Sub for years now, the 5513 was what I though I wanted but this is on a well known auction site and is fairly local and a smudge over £5k. I know nothing about the 5512 and wondered if someone could chime in and advise me. edited . 5512, serial begins 344****, it has 9315 bracelet and 258 end pieces.

Any comment and tips welcome. Thanks

Not great pics - cool vintage look (lume plots a bit grubby!) - I like it. Great insert - looks original and fat font. I reckon £5K is a god deal for that, personally.

Thanks Vincent. Would it have originally come with a 9315 bracelet?

yes it would of came on a 9315 but i would suggest you find a 93150 for it. Much stronger, better fit, more comfortable and Looks better. goodluck with the purchase.

The bezel as seen a lot of wear and is not very sharp. Could be the angle, but the crown guards look really polished down as well.

i wouldnt buy a bag of chips from pics like those ,,, need far better pics 5k buys a decent car ,,, just as a reminder , sometimes in watch land the money seems to turn into monopoly money ,,,, just my thoughts , not trying to be smart or upsetting , but at 5k a decent pic isnt asking too much. if he cant take them im sure he will know someone who can , after all even camera phones turn out good results, or in the case of some of the members here can take outstanding camera phone pics.

Terrible pics I know, but can view it this week locally and just wanted any experts to chime in if anything seriously wrong with it.
