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

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.

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!
