Need you guys professional help 5513 meter first

Hi all, i am going to view this watch tomorrow. Want to gather your pro opinion to see if its legit. its a 1967 5513 with meter first dial and USA jubilee bracelet. My initial observation, the circle lumes was done badly around the edge, insert should be serviced one (i have a kissing4, so not a problem), i dont have knowledge about the USA bracelet, but the endlinks for sure not fitting properly. and case back engraving...numbers 5513 looks weird, almost like it was done twice over each other. Its my first 5513, pls enlighten me thanks!

Bring a UV lamp with you. And don't get hung up on things that don't matter, like the way the endlinks fit. The value is in the watch.

The brace;et is a correct 1960s USA Jubilee, to include the clasp being correct, but the end links are aftermarket which is probably why they do not fit very well.

See if the following website helps you out with any concerns you have.
