Hmmmm, I don't see anything wrong Stan.

My only comment would be is that it's kind of strange to see a 5513 with a 5512 caseback.

Usually its the other way around.

There must be something ......

Onkyo,
Almost every transitional 1983-85 5513 I have handled had a 5512 caseback amazing?

This seller's history is impeccable. He sells fine watches that have always been serviced, great photography skills, great transparency in his descriptions, etc.

Not a criticism, just an observation. Watch looks good to me. I'm sure he's a good guy just seems like overkill in terms of how he presents it.

Usually I am more wary of someone trying to oversell me than someone who just presents a moderate amount of info. Not always the case but most of the time.

I personally met this guy to look at a Tudor chrono. He is a very stand up guy and seemed to be genuine.

The price is no bargain, and he adds a lot of hype about the casebacks, which is just that - hype.

Onky,

both 5512/5513 casebacks vs case versions are seen with regularity.

WAtch looks fine. Seller looks fine.
