Few scans of the 5513 from the weekend
Few relaxing scans of the new little guy over the weekend... the mixture of the faded bezel along with the black matte dial and the heavy puffy lume has this POP effect that I can not describe. At certain angle... the dots just seem to want to pop out of the dial. I need some of our strong vintage seller's lighting skill to capture the essence of this dial!
Anyhow.. here are a few scans:       Ava says Daddy!! I want to try it too!!!  Looking good on Ava's wrist!  Hope everyone is having a great weekend and good week ahead! Best, Fred |

Ava has always enjoyed playing with Daddy's toys... here she is at almost 2.. playing with another.. ( I do think she likes the vintage one more!).

Great pics of your lovely family

You know your wrist is to small for your watch when the face of the watch is as big as your hand
 Thanks for the sweet pictures

Regarding pic#4. There is a minor blemish on the ring but you know what? for a 45 yr old watch.. it does not bother me one bit.. it's just a phenomenal piece... loving it! |

Dude, 5513 is a stunner, but Ava is stealing the show! I'd be a proud papa if I were you.

Very nice 5513, congrats. But my guess is that the faded insert comes from a Blue Tudor Submariner, this kind of very light blueish patina is characteristic.
