Kevin, keep practicing the long version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and your watch could be finished by then!!!

Awesome looking 5513! Congrats!
You lucked out on both the watch and seller. John has a keen eye and his watches tend to be excellent.

Good guy John. Your a lucky man to have purchased a watch from John. He sells quality watches and is straight up with you. Congrats on that beauty. Wear her in good health.
Aloha from Kauai.

Lovely watch; case, crystal, dial and hands. :)

But that bezel insert looks strange? Numbers touching the bezel and pearl flat. Maybe I am wrong.

The bezel was verified by John Field as original. He is the guy who owns/runs the 5513 website!

The bezel is original, the pearl has been replaced at some point.
