Congrats! Vte

5513 is really a cool Sub I saw so many and they (almost) all look so different. Congrats on your superb specimen, mabrouk 👍

Yeah gotta agree, not easy to find one with a nice patina.

I’ve already checked that the day I bought it. Serial is 1,596,xxx which makes it a 1961-62 max. What do you think? Laurent

For the 1961/62 period you mention the dial was glilt gloss. So your watch is correct for the serial number but made circa 1967, Keep enjoying! Abel,
