Rolex 5513 serial number not centered between the lugs
Hi im a new member of this forum and would like to seek some expert advice. I just purchased a 5513 with 2.5 serial number and i noticed that the serial number is not centered between the lugs. I attatched a pic for reference. Is this normal? Or is it something i should be concerend about? Everything else see to check out. Thank you in advance. Sorry for the crappy pic.

I've seen much worse...
Looks good to me. The serial numbers were hand engraved with a Pantograph Machine... so... you know...

Not an issue in my book. There are all sorts of variations in the quality of Rolex serial number engravings, especially during the period when this watch was produced.
Wear and enjoy! |
