My new Sub 5513 circa 1972!

Tell me what you guys think, I just purchased this beauty!! I realize hands have been re-lumed and dome is not correct, but the price was right and I loved the ghost dial!!

Looks real good....how well depends partly on how much the piece was...that's what I was asked when I posted my 5512...I was asking all the guys here how they thought I did picking the old girl up..just busting my balls of course ..if you don't wanna post the price I don't blame you...like I said it looks nice from what I can see congrats brother..any high res pics available possibly ?

Thanks Guys!!! I do think I got a awesome deal, I was looking for about 4 months. Like I said I know the hands a re-lumed, and the crystal is not the dome. But dial and case look pretty decent to me. Very pleased with my first vintage purchase!!

that's a lovely watch, congrats. I note your post is besides mine on the forum. Regarding the hands and dome, have a look at what LAWW did to my 67 5512... well worth the exercise I believe.
