I agree, for 4k you can find a 5513 if you look hard enough, at least the head and maybe even a bracelet.
Highway robbery my friend, run don't walk.

As I asked mods, please lock, comments like this is exactly what I don't want, nobody got burnt as you put it, nor would I have been. Maybe you'll realize it's not what you say, it's how you say it. [emoji57]

Mods can we please close and lock this thread? Everything is been worked out with the seller and as mentioned before he is a top-notch guy.

Yeah, guys I know, this was a genuine mistake and the seller and I are in the process of working it out. Thanks for your PMs Pam but I could have done without the chastising about buying a gen on a rep forum, wasn't any need for that, as I have always said buy the seller and in this case the seller is great just an honest mistake.

if he really wants to sell it and have him get it serviced and you tell him you pay the service charge, if he's not willing to agree then don't do it. There are so many parts on this watch that can be replicated it could affect the price tremendously.

Unless it was a face to face deal I would not do it. The only way to pay for these is by bank wire and that is not the safest way. PayPal will not cover anything more than $5000.so in this case you are at the mercy of the seller. You have no recourse if the deal goes bad.

Yeah, I know what you mean but the seller is solid. Did you know the darker the Tritium the less exposure to sunlight the watch has had. So one where the plots are white would mean the watch was worn quite a lot compared to one with darker plots.
Just finished the deal the other day with Themillerdave and I can wait to receive it. This 5513 had some issues with the keyless but Dave made sure it his watchmaker repaired the watch before we closed the deal. It's a beautiful FF with taxi cab patina (all natural) and complete with a nice 93150 bracelet. As you can see the insert is something that I am looking to replace, other than that this is a nice honest 5513 that will bring me years of pleasure. I just wanted to add that Dave is fantastic to deal with he walked me through the entire ordeal and doing this with me can be a challenge, he's a true gentleman.
I will post a full series of photos once it arrives.
Here's a couple of bragging pics.

Like it was said here before, get more than the movement verified, this is an expensive piece, above all as I said before, but the seller. Check his reputation.
