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? http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19806/lot/142/ 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 |

A milsub for 9k because it had the wrong second(s) hand? Well: count me in :-)

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... ;-)
