That is not a gen pic, it's a photoshop pic from the manufacturer. Look at the differences in the numeral font from that pic and the reps. You would normally think that it's way off but it's not, the real gen really looks like the reps.

I've wanted this since I first saw vanilla sky, buffalo on deployment for me.

One on the terrorist before he blew himself up in the storage facility and it looked like the same model (47mm sub?) on the black cop guy who was about to raid the storage facility.

Anyone other than Rolli recieve thiers yet? Still waiting on mine... :<

Definatley a gen insert

Anyone know if these things are shipping yet?

X2

Me either

What you don't seem to understand is that you should have inquired about the inacuracies within the first days of recieving the watch. As far as the watch being non-functional after 'just 5 months' this can and does happen with genuine watches as well. It wasn't so long ago that Rolex, Brietling, Omega only offered a 1 year warranty, and after the warranty expired guess what....

Just got the same one from EL today, has the double deplayment and it is a really HQ piece. Movement feels really smooth all around, date mag is good, font is perfect, crown guard tensions like a gen!

DAMN! I dont think I would have ever recognized that as a service 'mark' Thanks A'Bunch!

Is it the polished sides?

Clueless?

1986 to be exact

No doubt!! Thanks for your help as well Eunomians. I still find it funny that the people who know most about the gens hang out at a rep website.

I didn't go back to the AD, I went back to the store I bought it from. The women at the AD was a real [censored] from the begining. Basically not even looking at the watch before handing it back and calling it a fake. How embarassing!! Anyway all she really acomplished was loosing a future customer. Really, after she looked up in her book that a 5513 should be plastic, I think it was all about saving face.

Took it back to the store and had them open it up today, the movement is deffinatly real... The only thing in my mind that was in question was the case back. After arguing with the women at the AD that a 5513 SHOULD have a plastic crystal, she then went on a tangent about how the caseback should be shaped like he DJ from the same era. This is obviously wrong but it did get me looking at other case back pics, when I noticed the difference in finish.

BTW ubiquitous, How did you know that the clasp was replaced?

Sorry dude.. not pondering anymore, it is a gen ubiquitous hit the nail on the head. I don't know how he knew but all of that stuff had been replaced. The only thing I was unsure about was the case back, which is a gen which had engraving removed. Thanks very much to everyone who responded, I was reading your replies as they were posted but didn't really have any new information until today (Monday) thanks again y'all

No, but I was told up front that it is a 'new' replacement from rolex which would make it correct in that aspect. It is just the 'lathed' look to the case back that has me worried. Come to think of it, I have never seen a rep sub with a pattern like that.

Bought this from a brick and mortar with a good reputation. I recently took it to an AD to ask for an endlink and was supprised when they said that "they dont deal with fake watches" and handed it back. The first thing the woman said was that the crystal shouldn't be domed poly, WTF it's a 5513?? Then she commented that the case back didn't look right. After the crystal conversation, I would have written it off as her not knowing what the hell she was talking about, but looking at the spin pattern on the caseback it makes me wonder. All other 5513 pics I can find have had polished case backs. What do you all think? Have a look...
