Nightwatch Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited October 14, 2016 by Nightwatch 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 It seems like each of us try some of this and some of that, until one fine day we're introduced to what winds up being that perfect watch.It fits right, it feels right, it's unobtrusive and it just "clicks". Then it's the one we reach for every morning, and the others just fade into dust collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
