Don't be fooled by this 5513

The sell is claiming originality here "In order to let the buyer/collector make their own judgment we have not altered the watch from its original condition and have not enhanced its appearance."

This 5513 is NOT in original condition with this dial. The correct dial with a 1111xxx serial number would be a gilt dial and showing meters first NOT feet first. IMO the seller is misrepresenting this watch.

watchco-australia-numismatics2 ( 2843)

Notes: Crystal exhibits a minor scratches; dial in great condition; watch may be in need of a service. In order to let the buyer/collector make their own judgment we have not altered the watch from its original condition and have not enhanced its appearance.

Great observation as usual Michael, now we might need LC to contact this seller to see if he can change the listing :-)
