Hi guys not sure if I can do this, I am looking at a 5513 from a local well respected dealer. My question is..is this watch "too good" what I mean it has new dial, hands, bracelet, looks great but is it too far from what a 1966 watch should look. My father has this exact watch (unrestored) and I would love one to match

I would prefer the watch to come as original as possible, if I was purchasing a vintage.

If it's the one I think it is meters first would be correct for the era. My screen shows a bluish hue to the markers so I'm not sure what the condition of the indices are. Light can do funny things.

The case looks good. Not sure if the bracelet is a latter replacement.

That's about $5,700 USD? Might be a tad strong, but I;m not familiar with pricing there.

I would want more pics, the bracelet is certainly not period correct. The pic is also marked "Not For Sale" so have you bought it already?
