The deal is not 100% yet, but should be worked out this afternoon and executed on Monday. Yes, it's vintage and it's a Sub! More to follow....

Thanks guys, a couple of days worth of emails back and forth was worth every keystroke...Don't worry Tristan, I won't wind it!!! LOL...Anyhow, this one was REALLY serviced recently, and it also belonged to Steve M, so I am positive it's in great shape.

Nicko guess what i am wearing today? Spending my last day with this beauty before sending it your way tomorrow :)

I am happy that the 5513 will get full attention from someone like you, i am only able to give it so much wrist time between my other collection.
