Just got my 5513 back from being serviced/overhauled - pics

Sent my 5513 to RSC Dallas. They insisted that I allow them to replace all three hands. I declined.

I then took my watch to Charles L. Smith Company in Mocksville NC. I had a full service done, which included a new barrel, spring, crown, tube, staff, seals, crystal and a light polish (bordering on no polish at my request).

Although the watch is not chronometer certified, it is now running +1 seconds in the overnight face up position and spot on when I wear it. I think it looks great. But then again, I am biased.

I am very happy my watch is back. And I will definitely use Charles again.

Here are some picks of the watch and the old parts it came back with. Charles put the old parts in the empty packaging for the new parts.
