Hi there,
new the forum and also to the Rolex world.

I was wondering if there is a list of which Rolex models where available in 1975. I'm currently owning a 5513 and would like to expand my collection with watches from the same vintage.

Thanks for your help,
Bernd

Worth investing in some period literature or brochures.

Off the top of my head, you should be able to find a GMT Master, Date Just, Day Date or Explorer II.

Good luck. That year is hard to come by.

Yes it is! Both 75 & 76. I ran into this when looking for a birth year GMT. They are out there though.

Been looking for a good 1675 for years. That's a nice one.

gorgeous, my friend!

Keep us updated as to what you find. I have never bought a vintage Rolex and a 1975 will be my first vintage. I see we must be the same age.

Yup I looked. Found a few but did not pull the trigger.

bognerboy · 26 November 2014, 06:10 AM

Thanks for your interest. I own a 5513 from 1975, it's my birthyear. The pricelist i found on this forum is really helpful. I'd like to start a collection from that year. Datejust seem to be available and OK with the prices. GMT and Daytona is another story though.

This is interesting because I've never found a 1975 Rolex either, practically every other year around it but never that. I wonder why? Were fewer watches made that year?

Think so. There is a thread about some oil crisis 74-75 and production was down

I am thinking a nice example of a date just with a roached bracelet that I can get a deal on and have some (very minor mechanical) work done and throw it on leather and let the vintage flag fly. Not one to make perfect.
