Decided to go with this lovely Non Serif with beautifully faded grey bezel! Thinking about getting a twin brother ideally meters first with a blue faded bezel.
kickass!!

Perhaps this might be helpful to some?

Dr John Field aka Beaumont_miller_ii on TRF has compiled this very helpful reference information on the 5513

That site was a huge help understanding those dial

I'm just more attracted to grey inserts vs blue inserts. Granted I can just switch it the serif 5513 is non polished as well! I'd rather use the money I can get from a meters first on something else 😝

Some people pay a hefty premium for those blue bezel inserts. I recently saw a redline with blue insert and even my wife was like.... That's amazing. Asking 19g though, realistically should be 14 or so so not going for it for now but what a beauty. Great case and dial too... Bracelet was a little off.

Anyway the 5513 you have for sale is a beauty, hope it sells well. I'm actually surprised it's not already sold to be honest.

Yeah I wouldn't pay more than 14k for a 1680 red and it would have to be unpolished. 19k is pretty nuts though, it better have been unpolished, box and papers, with a nicely faded insert I would hope.

There are a lot of 5513's out there for sale as it does seem like there is a endless supply of them but I would like to think mine is one of the finer examples haha.

Yes the 1680 was unpolished or very lightly polished, great looking dial and patina, gray blue bezel. One of the best I've seen except for the bracelet. They know they where overreaching and where open to negotiate but I knew I didn't want to spend the money now and my wife was with me so I didn't try to see how low I could bring them. 14 or around 14 would seem about right.
