    Haven't worked out how to shoot those superdomes yet.....

    The 5513 for me. Even if it is worth less than the 5512, it has a lively dial, with a very nice lume color. Both cases appear in a comparable condition. Now if you can snap the long five insert of the 5512, it would be perfect.

    I vote 5513. Cleaner dial for sure. Bezel piece (ridges) also looks a lot sharper than the 5512, the bezel on the 5512 appears to be heavily polished. Only concern/question is the insert for the 5513. Could be the lighting but the numbers and ticks look a little yellowed

    Initial Wow factor would be the 5512.

    I'd be happy to own either, but the 5513 beats the 5512 for me.

    Anyone care to take a stab at the cost ratio?

    Normally maybe, not sure in this case there would be such a ratio, ths 5512 is 4th gen 4 line with normal lugs ( as opposed to pointed or square) it is guilt but for the rest it's on the lower end of the 5512 spectrum. Like mine, except mine is not guilt; it also appears to have been polished quite a bit. Look at the difference in lug size left to right.

    The 5513 on the other hand is a superb example on great condition. Guilt and little polishing.

    A 5512 is a 5512 though, respect where it's due.

    Can't beat a good late gilt 5512/13. That said the 5513 looks to be a nicer example. One of the most stunning features on these is the gloss.....which the 5512 is loosing.
