patina, beach: life is good! ...

Cool looking, this circled 5513. Ad yes, the patina is very much my taste.

This one doesn’t get as much wrist time as it deserves, but it’s an obvious choice for the beach. And today’s glidelock bracelet fits the 5513 like a charm. I have the original bracelet too, which is cool and reference-appropriate but less comfortable. ...

From what year is your watch? Early 80's?

It’s a 9.5M serial so circa 1987, I believe.

I think that switch to letters was in 1987

so this is one of the last crop of number-only serials. Or so I read on the internet!

Great!
