5513 to watch out for ... seller is tricky

Ok , bad pictures . And personally I cannot see anything wrong with it .
It is however the same seller that seems to come up with high end vintage stuff and the same one that nearly got away with a fake DRSD . He had well over 15000 USD bid on it till we finally pulled it a couple of weeks back .
Do not want to initiate a witch hunt ... but better safe then sorry ?

To me the font on the bezel looks too thick



May need some input from the collective

It would be indeed a good idea that our vintage experts have a look at this thing , just for peace of mind .

Its hard to say with those pictures of the dial and I do not read French so cannot see what the seller is claiming, but the watch does appear to have a folded links bracelet, which would not be correct for an 8M serial number 5513.

Michael ,
Seller does not provide much , only this :
Authentique rolex 5513 boite et papîer d origine
rolex 5513 tres ancienne avec son bracelet d origine complete
verre rayer rien de grave :

Authentic Rolex 5513 , box and original papers
Rolex 5513 very old with its complete and original bracelet
Glass scratched but nothing serious .

The rest is only relative payment and shipping . Nothing out of the ordinary .

I haven't compared it to any other 5513 pics but at a glance the rehaut looks too steep and thick and the crystal/rehaut convergence does not look right.
