James Bond 5513 1962

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1962...item51a2bbc936

Seller: feya

Seller comment:"-Legendary Watch! This Authentic 1962 Mens Rolex Submariner Oyster Perpetual Stainless Steel James Bond Watch is in GREAT shape."

So much things are wrong with this watch, including serial number
This guy should be banned from eBay!

Looks like something cobbled together from parts.

Some definite problems I agree. I can see a few problems, vintage sub experts like Greg and others can probably see many more

Acording to the seller, The case serial number is 198103.
Even if he forgot a digit at the end, the serial number cannot correspond to 1962.

Very fishy

Looks like a 14060 and they placed hands with patina to make it look older.

I have never seen a 1960's 5513 model with "Submariner at the top" inscription.
In addition, I have never seen a Submariner at the top" dial with "meter" first.
Lastly, the hands are replacement hands.
