Lots of factors to consider in answering this.

Does the 5513 have it's original paperwork?

Does it have it's original dial, hands, fat font insert, pip, bracelet and a good thick case.

If it is a nice original working example as above without paperwork then approx £3.5k upwards, if it has paperwork with it I would add another approx £1k, but that is without seeing it so it could be less or more than those figures I have quoted.

If you post up photos of it and more details there are some people on here who could give you a better guide valuation.

Edited to add, I see you're Wirral based, you could take it to the Old Watch Shop, Mike there would be the best guide you could hope for on these matters.

The dealer I have just purchased the 16613 from valued around the same 3.5 to 4.0k.....no paperwork but orginal apart from the perspex glass that i replaced a few years ago
