Hi everyone,

I am looking around for a nice 5513 and came across this 5513. It is a Feet first 5513 from 1968.

The case is very, very sharp. I saw this picture of the serial:

The seller is a buddy of mine and an honest guy.
It looks good to me but I'd like the opinions of fellow members.

Love to help, but need more pics from different angles to evaluate.

Goedie · 10 May 2016, 10:38 PM

I understand your point.
Ill try to get some more.

The serial doesn't look off right?

Miami Manny · 10 May 2016, 10:42 PM

Serial is re-engraved and not original

droptopman · 10 May 2016, 10:46 PM

Agreed. Serial does not look original.

Xantiagib · 10 May 2016, 11:03 PM

service case perhaps ? looks laser etched instead of printer as it should be for a '68

Goedie · 10 May 2016, 11:43 PM

This is from another angle:

It bas papers with it so I can't imagine it isnt correct...

You can't rely on papers as they are sold on the bay and at shows etc. Watches are re-engraved to match paperwork.

Is there a RSC where you can authenticate the watch near you?

Mark020 · 12 May 2016, 05:37 AM

No need to I'd say

Goedie · 13 May 2016, 12:18 AM

The watch itself looks pretty good to me. Service insert but hands and dial match nicely

greekbum · 13 May 2016, 01:58 AM

imho case is non rolex (aftermarket, fake, replica,etc ) the engravings are non rolex (imho a computer engraver) and there are more fake parts on this.....run away.

To the OP, if you have a mobile device where you can expand the pics to get a closeup view, you'll start to see the flaws that exist with this piece (of junk).

What is your buddy's story about the provenance of this watch?

Nobody.Move · 13 May 2016, 07:56 AM

Entirely fake or Franken, I say, judging from the pics.
