OK, I get to join the club today....
I've finally made the plunge and got myself a 5513 maxi, from our very own Steve Mulholland.
 The bad - I don't get to see it for another month  It's now being babysat by Steve until I make my way over to the US in mid December, so I think it'll be a great Xmas present for myself. Another bonus is that is the same 'vintage' as me, being an '81 model. So here we go gents, I hope that you approve! I know I'm a very happy (albeit slightly frustrated!) man!  Cheers Ash |

Great Watch! From what I've seen from Steve in the short time I've been a member here his vintage peices are always great examples! |

Nice! That's a super clean example. I love the maxi dial 5513. Get yourself a black nato strap with grey stripes and a nice 93150 service bracelet and you'll be all set!
