5513 with 1560 movement

[wappinghigh]

Did the 5513 ever have the 1560 movement in it (as it came out of the factory), or was it always supplied running a 1520?

Thanks

Is it truly a 1560, or just a 1520 with a bridge from a 1560? Bridges/plates are sometimes used interchangeably in these movements, so photos would be helpful.

Same bridge plate, so could just be a service replacement based on what was available. Not all these watches went to an RSC either, so an independent would have used whatever they had on hand, if it was genuine and it worked.

Based on the balance, that appears to be an actual cal 1560.

Butterfly rotor movement is not correct in a case with normal crown guards.
