Thoughts before I buy a service tropic 19
Guys,
Someone is offering me this service tropic 19 Crystal for my 5513 and he is stating it as a genuine but the packaging looks weird to me. Can you please confirm me if it is a gen tropic 19 |

That's correct packaging.

An old, original T19 can be pricey. That is a fair price on a service insert and arguably the best insert, which is a current service insert from Rolex and will provide the best safety and perhaps optical clarity available. An old & original unused T19 with the old school dome profile would most often be a bit more.
That service T19 is the best balance of look and superior protection.

I also like the shape of this service more than the original dome T19 of the earlier 5513's I am happy with my purchase, I did well for not buying an aftermarket one then .. I am on a 5513 project, i am trying to restore a 5513 and give it a second life. I have started with a midcase that I bought from a vintage Rollie spare parts shop and now I am trying to collect pieces to have it finish, but sometime money is a bit an issue, some parts became extremely pricy for the 5513.. |

Just a thought - post a photo of the midcase as there are some good and not so good fakes out there. There are more fakes than good ones me things but showing a photo of both sides between the lugs will say for sure.
