You wouldn't have spent the money if it didn't make you happy. Congrats on the new additions.

All I can tell from that photo is that it's a 5513. Looking at the color of the lume, it's possible that it has a replacement dial but original hands (because the lume on the hands appears to have a slightly darker patina than the markers on the dial). I could definitely be wrong, that pic isn't the clearest I've seen.

Take a clear pic and post it on the vintage forum along with the first few digits of the serial number and you'll get a wealth of info.

Congrats, nice pickups!

No, it's not bad at all. Rolex replaces dials all the time during servicing. Some vintage collectors like it, some don't, it's just down to preference. If you love the watch (like I do) then you didn't pay too much!

Anyway, I could be wrong. Like I said, the guys over on the vintage forum know WAY more than I do and can give you all the info you want.

Enjoy it, the 5513 is pure Rolex classic!

The 5513 crown guards look very worn down.

If you were planning to sell it for more than you paid, yes a replacement dial isn't helpful.

How can you be sure it is all correct inside (meaning genuine parts and not generic replacements made during a repair) if it was a mall watch shop?
