Congratulations excellent deal. Papers are fine, I have a similar set that came with my watch that I bought new in 1975 from that same AD. If you ever want to sell it let me know.

All the best and enjoy it!

Nice work!

Maybe You, Gbany and I should start a sub group

"Gambard Full Set Owners"

Here is my 5513 set from 1982


Cheers

I don't think it suits you - you should sell it to your brother
