Opinions on 5513

Hi All,

I am looking at purchasing this 5513 and a I would just like to hear your opinions on the dial. I have compared it to the sticky Bart Simpson write up and it all looks to check out, but would love a second set of eyes to confirm.

Cheers,
Mike

It's a legit Bart dial but the stark white plots and hands don't look good imo. Does the case and case back match the accepted 1966 date range for a Bart?

Yes, the serial is 1.49M so should be in acceptable range.

I've seen this piece being offered by 3 different sellers. Just be careful.

I'd pass, those markers are way too white and don't match with the rest of the dial.

X2. There r chips at 7 but seller claims its reflection. I would b extremely cautious.


I blame it on the autoconnect.

Markers look suspect to me, I'm sure there was another thread asking about this watch recently.

Is that a superdome?
It looks more like a service dome to me.
