Wow. Just... wow.

The sad part is, the 14 bidders.

Just because it looks old doesn't mean it is legit

Best-case scenario is that it's the world's worst re-done dial. Case looks odd, too, or at least way over-polished. Just an eyesore.

It actually went for $3.1K. Not sure if it's fake or not, but regardless, that dial is a horrible re-do, and the case looks strange. Too many red flags for any amount of money.

Just a 5513 with a very poorly redone dial. Nothing else imho.
