Joining a good part of nostalgia with reliability, simplicity, good power reserve, excellent readability and light on the wrist/ease of use this 5513 has advanced to be one of my favourite/ most worn watches in 2016. At the bedside by night, on the wrist by day the philosophy behind it is quite simple. In the last 60+ years it has been all over the World. It has been serviced and fixed by some excellent and by other mediocre watchsmiths in the most remote corners in the World - with those parts that were available and not those that are period correct, a crown here, a plexi there, some hands that were available. Relumed, repolished and just "fixed" this has never seen a ROSC from the inside and it never will.

I had that happen once. I shipped my 6536/1 to The Zigmeister and it disappeared in the mail. Three months later it came back, box torn open and retaped several times, with orange Customs stickers saying "Canada does not allow shipment of counterfeit goods". They had no idea it was genuine.

The wristies are on the end of his armies.
