Can someone please authenticate this mid 80's 5513??

Looks real to me. Try posting on the Rolex forum on Timezone.

Did you also try checking the serial matches the era it was produced in?

Did you try reading the whole post? He had it verified.

BTW ubiquitous,

How did you know that the clasp was replaced?

There is a tell tale sign on the clasp. Can you spot it?

Clueless?

Look carefully. It's right there in plain sight (answer to follow shortly...)

The whole pieces seem re-worked, and it also looks like the case back has been turned on a lathe, maybe it just had some really deep scratches?

Is it the polished sides?

Brian,

Note the 'S'

[eunomians]

Ahh, those eagle-eye-peepers of yours are incredible!

Cheers!

PS. Nice watch. Glad it's an '86, the dial is correct for that year.

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

So any clasp with an S means it is a replacement? Where did you learn all this?
