Hubby's 5513 too big for me?
First post here. Been devouring lots of great info, learning about this watch, which I now know is a a 1.7 mil 5513. I've seen a few posts of women who have 'borrowed' their man's watch. So what do you think? Is this old battle scarred watch too big for my skinny old arm?

Looks great, 40 mm sports watches often look better on women.

two mentions of polish huh? yeah, it needs it. the entire watch needs a good cleaning. its all dirty and dinged up bad on the outside and i know its years past due for inside work. it was well loved and well worn in the past.

Be careful who you let polish or touch it as they can ruin the value of the watch without knowing it.

yea I think it looks just fine too...now I will say that there are some instances where women wear their man's watch and it looks just goofy...like the new super cases..don't like that look at all on a woman.

I think it looks great! As others have pointed out, it just needs to be cleaned-up a bit....CAREFULLY cleaned- up a bit!
