Same seller sold what looks like a vintageised Silix for €1100 stating that it was ‘spare parts’ and ‘not fake’.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383798956559

so I think I’ve kinda answered my question on the 5512 & 1680. Presume they also lurk here on the forum somewhere (in terms of learning ageing techniques etc.)

the 5512 & 1680 desc. States;

“Vintage Submariner for spare parts not Running. The condition "Refurbished by the seller". Shipped with 4 extra standard post. Watches with parts replaced dial hands and case Without movement 5512 1680.red write They are non-running watches ... with a movement that is not contemporary and good but works only for pleasure ... We do not accept exchanges, exchanges and etc. Nor refunds There is no price reserve Good luck”


to me, these look like (broken) aged JKF watches, with possibly new pearls installed?
