I got my 5512 back today.

My local watch 'guru" fixed the tritium at 10:00 that came loose.

Replaced the crystal and replaced the tritium on the insert that had fallen out.

The movement looked good to him and it's keeping perfect time so he did not mess with it.

I also sourced a 93150 with no stretch but has never been polished that matches the "worn" look on the case quit nicely.

I'm VERY excited. and mark my words. 'I WILL NOT SELL IT"

As a serial flipped that was hard to say..

That watch looks stunning!!! If you start getting an itch for a different watch just stare at that dial and you will forget about all the rest...

Looks great. When something looks that nice, I can see why you wouldn't want to flip that one.
