Thoughts and Opinion on this 5513 Maxi V

[shangster12]

Hey everyone. Lately I've been on a hunt for 5513 Maxi dial and I came across this watch from vintagerlx/vintageworn from instagram. It seems like the dealer, Scott, is very knowledgeable in his field and was able to answer all my questions with firm responses. However, I would like to get some opinions on this watch. Is everything on this watch original? How does the bezel look, is it a mk3 and period correct? What about hands? And has anyone ever dealt with Scott from vintagerlx? Pleasure share your thoughts. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

is there anything else beside the bezel that I should be aware of?

And which bezel is the correct one for a 1984 5513?

This is a good starting point for research. Shows good photos of dials, bezels, etc.

Also worth asking the seller which one the buyer will be getting! It seems like he's using photos from previous sales for the same watch. Not that that's forbidden, but it could explain the different backgrounds....and insert. The pale blue background is similar to those by Jesse, and HQMilton when he shot photos for them.

It also suggests that he has been swapping parts, which also is not forbidden, but worth being aware of.

I just asked him which bezel is included with the sale. His response was that the thin font bezel is included which is period correct. He's also willing to switch it with the mk3 insert if requested. Thoughts?
