After 6 month of long wait . .. my 5513 is back!

 

Congrats my friend. Looking good! I see why you don't need your Tudor BBB any more!

 

Nice one - but that Tudor is even nicer !!!!

Why did it take them 6 months to get it back to you???

 

Thanks buddy! Yes, the good old 79090 feels much better than the new tudor 79220N.

 

They said they were waiting for parts....they are very hard to source now days....

 

lies! glad to see it back!

 

@Seacow
What parts are hard to source for a mid-80s 5513?

 

Those..

 

Was this the first time its been serviced?

 

I can see this if the watchmaker didn’t have a Rolex parts account. Very few independent watchmakers have access to genuine Rolex parts nowadays.

 

That's a long time!

 

Probably the same company fixing my Eterna, estimate time is 3-6 months. I'm still waiting, they proceeded the restoration in April 12 this year, so the max will be by October, wheeew! That's long wait!
