Utheman Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 The crystal looks like it took a ride in a blender.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Yep, it's time for a new crystal! underline dial, 4-63, gold hour hand, silver minute and seconds, Swiss- pre tritium dial, p-cgs, fat font insert, old twinlock crown, rivetted bracelet. Certainly a beauty for 46 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre V Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 What a beautiful 5513 and a rarity in its class, JoJo!! Here's my observations: 1) "Underline" below Oyster Perpetual 2) Pointed Crown Guard (PCG) 3) Glit Dial 4) Glit Hands 5) Rare "SIWSS" at 6 o'clock Year 1963 Rivetted Swiss Bracelet 7206 with 80s endlinks. Definitely one for keeps my friend!! Amazing example!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has mentioned all that is special.....except that this is so original, the pointed CG's are still square. Fantastic watch. Merry Christmas! Thanks for posting up K, and Merry Christmas! The bracelet was the last piece, and one special aspect about it wasn't mentioned. Yes, it is a 7206 rivet, and yes, it has 80 endlinks and is the original '63 piece that came with this watch. However, what sets this bracelet apart from most 7206 is that it is the even rarer expansion link version. Notice in the pics how the links are tight together? Probably not the most popular option back in the day, because it tends to wear tighter around the wrist. Thanks everyone for your replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
