Opinions Rolex Ref. 5513

Hello TRF,

I am interested in the reference 5513 in the following link.

https://www.ebay.de/itm/255523554804...Bk9SR9CGhoH5YA

I would appreciate its assessment regarding case, bezel, inlay, dial and hands.

Thank you very much for your help

Very very low effort post. Why not post your thoughts first...

Mea culpa

Case has clear signs of wear, chamfers are barely noticeable. Bezel could be a service part. Inlay I can not judge. Dial is "meter first". Dial and hands contain zinc sulfide and have typical coloring. I would appreciate any further assessments.

Looks ok to me. The case is definitely worn, and possibly restored by an amateur. However, certainly the chamfers are clearly visible so we may not be looking at the same watch. Needs a bracelet obviously.

It will look better with a new D19.

Newbie here, but for the EUR 15.990,00 price I think you can find a better example.

Thank you for your responses. Is the inlay "periodic" correct and what is this called?

Yes it’s a long 5 insert.
