Icon20 Real or fake 5513?

could you help with the authenticity of the watch, so I am buying a 1987 5513 submariner and I would need help identifying the authenticity.

Oh she's real... and a real beaut, too! All genuine parts here (assuming there's a cal. 1530 ticking away inside ;)

Yes - First 3 digits of the serial, please :)

I suggest some research so you are familiar with the basics.

Watch is around 1984 production, but not sold till 1987, so it's most likely all good.

is it possible that it is older but bought in 1987, which is why the warranty paper is marked for 1987.

It seems the serial number is 82xxxxx sold during 1987. With that additional information found on the warranty paper, the watch appears to have a production date during late 1983 which would make the dial correct for this Submariner 5513 and, as Adam mentioned, it could very well have been sold during 1987.
