Hmm.. has a bracelet with a 2007 clasp code and a service insert, among various other inconsistencies. No doubt a nice example, but not NOS.

The 5513 didn't come with a red COSC tag. Although I suppose the AD could have thrown that in by mistake.

Nice watch but misrepresented as others have stated. I've dealt with the seller before in my "earlier days". Great guy but not an expert...

This is exactly why I try to only buy my vintage pieces from the original owners or their family...it takes patience, but the rewards are immense.
