What would you prefer - old fat font insert or RSC warranty!??

Hi guys.
If you have to choose between a unserviced 5513 with old fat font insert, and the same watch with RSC replaced insert, service paper and 2-year warranty. Both watch listed at same price. Which one do you prefer?

Here is where my question come from; I was searching old forum posts and found a nice 4.4mils 5513 listed in Dec 2009. I made query to seller asking him if the watch had been sold yet. He replied that he still had the watch, and more, he just sent the watch to RSC for fully overhaul couple months ago (costed him about 1000$ shown in receipt, which incl. replaced old insert as well as domed glass) Even better he offered the watch at the same price he listed last year (around $6k if you may ask)

Here is the watch listed last year before serviced. The owner is a trusted member in my local community which held very good reputation.



At first I was like ... "why did you do that??" "why don't you go to independent watch service guys and keep the insert??". I personally have more feeling on original fat font insert with tritium pearl like you guys here, but after rethink I have realized that this offer is pretty good too for a beginner like me to ensure authenticity and usability. So, what would you do if you were me...
