Picked this up from the bay, absolutely no idea about it other than it is German?, has a Glashutte movement inside and from around the 1960's?, if anyone has any info on these it would be appreciated, going to see if I can modify a bezel insert for this too?

Thank you! IMO, this is the nicest looking 5513 that I’ve come across on the fora. I particularly appreciate the low-key aging that has been done to this watch to give it a “carefully worn and well looked after” look. Beautiful!

In my biased opinion it is the nicest one I have seen on the forum too. This is my favourite watch and that is saying quite a lot.
