Hi,

Was wondering if some experts could provide som views on this piece?

It’s a birth year watch (I hope - 1983) and I’m pretty new to the details so could use some help.

Thanks

Those Krackle dials don't hold up too well to regular wearing.

How can than seller call it mint with that defective dial?

Pass!! You can find a nice 5513. I'll never understand the fascination with these *defective* dials.

That seems high but I love the spider dials. Not sure why they don't wear well as another poster claimed. I have had 2. Never an issue....nothing beats them in the sun.

Never understood why someone would buy a ruined dial?

Fabulous patina on the dial and hands. Stunning. However, agreed about those "spider" dials. I don't get 'em. The service insert with the lumi pearl would bug me too. It's a shame, because otherwise that's a beautiful-looking Sub with a nice fat case.

I don't know ... I love these dials - very unique, very interesting light reflection, very year specific (like 2 years of total production). but then again, I never understood faded BLUE Sub dials.

Spider dials aren't any more fragile than aged lume on watch hands
