Original (?) Milsub 5513 coming up at Bonhams

Would any of you be able to tell a freshman if this is a milsub with original set-up - dial, hands, etc?

Or anyone know this watch from previous transactions...?

Btw, a bit "faux-pas" to list the full ref number, no?

Looks veeery nice to me!

yes, its real, its ok, and serial matches in back...early watch so no rolex confirmation of issue numbers available ..even if they wanted to, not serviced etc

lost its second hand , which considering last two sold individually at 8/9k gbp has quite an impact

lololol...no silly ...the second hand sold for 9k gbp....one before 8k!!!!!

just about most valuable part for size on a mil because so many were lost/damaged and are missing from otherwise nice watches....also about the hardest part to find

Ah - didn't spot the wrong second hand. If they are only 8-9k GDP I guess I should try to save for one, just to have a piece of a real milsub... ;-)
