Considering this 5513...
I've got an opportunity to pick up this 5513. The serial is 1246XXX. Please disregard the bracelet, as it is not original. The owner is not a collector,,, it was inherited. Thoughts on the watch? Thanks in advance!

Over polished, pitted case, wrong hands, etc. Need better pics any way, but still !
Wait for the experts, but I would pass, unless price is VERY low.

First thing that gets my attention, polished below average.

Real shame about the case. Hands and dial look original gilt which are worth at least 50% of the value. If price is good enough may be worthwhile but need a big saving over a normal selling price.

Ridiculously over polished.
At first I thought it was a 5512 with pointed crown guards and a 5513 back. Then I looked at the pin hole in the lugs, holy cows, looks like they are one polish away from breaking through the lugs to the hole. After looking at that, I think the crown guards have been polished down to a nub as well. |

As mentioned above, case has been heavily polished. One of the worst I have seen as of recent.

Pass at any price. Those lug holes are evident on the case chamfer- ridiculous!

not to beat a dead horse, but pass. looks like the back of the case is basically ruined. Also, non-original bracelet on a watch that looks vintage is no bueno.

what???? $6,800 for that, def pass as if you were passing a car in the fast lane going in reverse
Not trying to be rude but that is a ridiculous price for that over polished example, it does not even have the org bracelet. You can find a decent example with a little effort with gilt for around $5,000 with og bracelet. |

K, well most likely not going to get so lucky, but I have seen a couple gilt 5513 on the bay for $5-6k when the seller did not realize what they had such as they inherited it. Was just letting him know he can find a decent 5513 for around $5,000 that is much better quality than the watch in question. Unless very lucky op will not find a quality gilt for that price range but op can still acquire a very nice 5513 for under $6,800 that would be a much better investment than the one in question.

If the dial is pristine it's not difficult to find a nice case & blow the other out as a beater.
The dial alone is bringing 3-4 K if a very good example. At close to 5 you are close to parts value imho. But this is a definite project & if you want a good example pass as said & get a better cased one. M |
