This one was dead for awhile.. but jmb brought her back..now with proper bracelet.

I think Polex is long gone. I have two, a reasonable 1016 and a 5517/5514/1680 hybrid that is irredeemable. I bought both a round sixteen years ago.

I imagine he is referring to the engraving between the lugs. Stailess Steel being the Cartel error. @RickFlorida Sorry your post didn't show up on my screen until after I had posted much the same thing.

Spelling error might refer to newer Cartel case that says "staileless steel" between lugs. That means this is a fairly new 5513 build. Maybe I'm wrong as the cg's look too thick. So did the older cartel 5513 also have the spelling error? I have one too and still getting parts. The biggest problem is you have to buy a new bezel assembly because the cartel one has correct case neck, but then the bezel and/insert are not to spec so they glue the insert instead of pressure fit. The glued inserts fall off in water. So I love the case, but you spend more money on bezel assembly than the 2813 version of the whole watch!

Here is my recently purchased 2016 gen .001 model with hesalite on a croco strap. Note the subdial spacing differences and tachymetre bezel font and tick thickness and spacing vs. your rep.

I'm no expert on IWCs, rep or otherwise but the seller has 223 x 100% feedback and he is selling a number of high end, expensive watches (including a Daytona and a DSSD), so I'm inclined to think he would be mad to attempt to slip a rep in there ! Just my tuppence worth. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Got a few minutes with macro filters.

That gets right up my nose
