I'm just cringing everytime I see your shots like that Yaz......
Don't you have somewhere "Safer" to photograph your watches?!?!

Can I add the great negotiating skills! I have to agree that the bezel insert completely changed your 5513. Now just store your watch in the dark so you can get that custardy yellow patina..lol

Or sell it to Tourneau for $13.5k

What is the "correct" bracelet for that 5513? I think I saw it at Jacek's showroom, but couldn't pull the trigger.

I believe the 7836 folded oyster - I'm on the hunt for that as well...

Great looking watch!

Is dark storage what causes that yellowing patina to the tritium markers?

There are many schools of thought.. some say keeping it away from sunlight will cause the patina.. others are adamant about the necessity of sunlight for patina...

5513 looks great with oyster bracelet and faded insert. Do you have any 'before' shots?
