··Stripers, not snook.I think you really need to define what you are trying to do because you are kind of all over the place and finding problem watches.

·@Linesiders:
Im looking for a 5513 1966 (birth year watch), and no safe queen since a want to use my watches.
I would like to find a correct watch with not a lot of changed parts/serviceparts etc...and in a decent condition.
And i think that reaching out to those who know more about 5513:s is a nice way of learning?

··Stripers, not snook.Gotcha, just don't rush. The patient and knowledgeable collector uncovers across finds the best finds.
Great Photos are a must. Engravings, photos all around the watch all help. These lousy photos do make it difficult.

An 5513 actually delivered in 1966 is most likely to be gilt-gloss, so I think you should shop bargain-hunting and prepare to spend $30k. The only exception will be a watch with a VI.66 case-back and a matte dial, but that is a very narrow range of correct serial numbers, and you are greatly limiting your search for a legit watch.
