We propose to observe the X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127 with a 30 ks observation, should the source end its current 4-year-long outburst. Despite several multi-wavelength monitoring campaigns, the nature of the compact object in the binary is still unknown. The system has been accreting matter at a relatively high rate (M_dot~10^-10 M_sun/yr) for more than 4 years. Current models predict a high quiescence luminosity (~10^32-10^33 erg/s) and clear signatures (thermal emission) of a heated crust, if the binary hosts a neutron star. If the system contains a black hole, such signatures will not be detected and the source will rapidly fade down to its predicted quiescent luminosity (~10^30-10^31 erg/s).
