Help what is what on this 5512 1959? expert advice needed

Hi guys, new here, happy to be here!

- serial dates to 1959 but engraving of serial and ref are weird? or this is possible in this time frame? is this a service case?
- Meter first dial looks all good but is later right?
- caseback looks correct?
- movement looks correct?
- bezel correct for 1959?

in general is the questions, what is what? i am lost, been searching for hours now

Same concept, but look at the "E"s on REGISTERED DESIGN

Anyway, nothing like it should look. See similar examples here:

As above, fake case and insert. Movement is also a later 1570. Later meters first 5513 dial which is real but missing most of the lume. It’s a put together franken watch.

Ok that sucks. so case fake that i understand. Inlay fake, case fake. hands and dial real but 5513 and missing lume. but meters first so worth something. so what about caseback? it's also fake? I might still buy for parts(if they worth something). Seller is not pretending that is all good but just asking me for a bid on the thing and i am trying to see what value still in there.

thanks for the help

How did the narrative jump to a 5513 from the original 5512 question? If a typo I understand.

There is nothing more to say if you’re cloaking the seller. As a very new member posting a fake Sub it is normal for folks to not give you a blow-by-blow.

May I ask why you didn’t say the seller is not pretending is all good?

Also would be curious to know who the seller is to steer away….

Guys honestly, i am not selling this. i am considering buying it and just wanted honest advice on it as i couldnt figure out what is legit and good and what is fake/not 5512. I will take it today to watchmaker to see what is what. I just dont want to tell the sellers name he's an honest person just asking for a price. He bought this and wants me to make a bid on it. All the fake parts will go into the rubish and the real parts will be sold in case i buy it.

just wanted to clearify this. no scamming here and all the fake parts will be destroyed. i am just trying to figure out what is real and whats not and what it belongs to.

I am not, i am the buyer. And the seller indeed is a guy i know well but he's just looking for a bid, could be 500usd, could be 5000usd. i am just trying to figure out what parts are real and what can go in the rubbish. Just looking for advice

I think you already have most of the answers to your question.

Go to HQmilton site and look up 5512 / 5513 and do the rest of your homework.

We don't want to share too much because most of the this watch is fake.

I don't think anything is legit.

Side note: a 1959 is going to be a Square Crown (insanely rare) or a Pointed - this is neither.

What is it worth? It is worth a trip to jail for Fraud.

Why hasn't your friend done this? Someone is going to get scammed by this. You know it, or perhaps you will do it yourself?
