Nice piece. It is worth what people will pay for it
I think it could fetch (depending on a closer inspection) 4500 USD +
Congrats on your Birthday and a lovely piece.

Thank you all for the kind words...

Been around with the new SubCs, PAMs and finally realised that simplicity is truly King and a vintage piece that is as old as me, is worth more than all the new SubCs + PAMs combined.

Yes, my only 2 true loves are cars and watches...the CooperS & 5513 will most likely grow old with me and one last stop before I hit my 40s in a weeks time, the 40th anniversary reissue of Steve McQueen's left crown Heuer Monaco is due in today.

What a co-incidence, I just realised the Monaco is also a "40th" anniversary edition.

That said, both 5513 and Monaco will start the next lap of my life, together with me.
