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.

Dunno what's happening but I can't get in too.

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....

I'd say its good for a bracelet watch as most PAM's with SS bracelet are just massive, but on leather it might be a bit tiny. As long as your gf is happy to take it, you should be okay
Mine has said she doesn't like anything in my PAM collection which makes me a happy manJust 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!

Brian,
Note the 'S'
DAMN! I dont think I would have ever recognized that as a service 'mark' Thanks A'Bunch!

Look carefully. It's right there in plain sight (answer to follow shortly...)
Is it the polished sides?
-
There is a tell tale sign on the clasp. Can you spot it?
Clueless?

1986 to be exact

Just like I had thought/posted.
Enjoy.
Too bad RSC no longer have 5513 matte dials. That would be a killer upgrade for yours.
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?
-
if i spend alot of money on a genuine rolex, and i was told by my authorised dealer that it wasnt genuine, I WOULD GO TO THE NEAREST WATCHMAKER TO EXAMINE THE MOVEMENT.
HOW HAS THIS NOT BECOME A FIRST PRIORITY TO BRIANK996?
instead he's pondering about it and asking questions on the internet...hoping to find accurate answers from pictures given to us.....
unbelievable....
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

Looks good to me (cgs, crown, bezel insert, lug holes, spring bars all look genuine) but I'm no expert. The only question I have is the "Swiss" on the dial. Is that right for the mid 80s?
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...
"Schaffhausen" runs too long on 3717?

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.
