Help choosing a 5513

[Anthony808]

I apologize for not having pictures but I have two 5513s that I'm trying to decide between.

A. Is a 2.9 mil serial. All origional. Polished but not heavily. Still has thick lugs and fairly sharp bevels. Off white, light creamy patina that is even and consistant between hands and dial markers. Pearl dot matches patina. 93150 bracelet. Acrylic dome in nice shape with very slight scratches. $6000. No papers.

B. Is a 2.1 mil serial. All origional, no polishing, dark orange patina that is even and consistant between hands and dial markers. Pearl dot matches patina. Original 9315 riveted bracelet in good condition. Acrylic dome in nice shape with very slight scratches. $7500. No papers.

I can't recall whether the inserts were both fat fonts. Believe they are.

Both are from the same dealer who backs the watch up with a 1 year warranty.

Any advice or suggestions would be apreciated. Thanks?

I would take #2

If B is truly unposlished, I would go for that. Unfortunately that term is over used and abused. The only way to truly know is to own the watch since new. Someone posted pics of an "unpolished" watch and I could clearly see that it was polished. That's a whole other story.

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice, so good luck!

B but both of them are pricey IMHO. You need to get us links or images

I'll have to go back to the dealer and see if he will let me take some pictures. I should have thought of that yesterday.
