My 5513 arrived today..

I acquired this from one of the finest and most generous members jhcam8. I'm totally stoked to add this piece to my small collection.

Thanks for looking!

Looks like your case comes with the rare early first generation square crown guards in subs From the late 50s to early 60s before the introduction of the pointed and the rounded square guards. Should come with an early gilt dial though. Beautiful piece nonetheless. Congrats!

Thank you everyone!

After the 16800 and this 5513, I'm hooked on vintage! The Red Sub is calling my name, LOL... HAGWE!

The 5513 is from 1967 but somehow the angle and shadow made the crown guards look squared.
