Question regarding Sub 5513...
Hey all -
I was walking in my neighborhood with my family today when I spotted a Sub for sale in the window of a store. I walked in and asked the guy how much he wanted and he said 5K. The watch looks to be in beautiful condition, but I'm sure it needs a service. My question to all is, if the watch is in FACT a 5513, do you think this is a reasonable price? I can probably get him down to 4200 or so by arguing the need for a service and no boxes/papers. What do you think? I'm going to try and get him to remove the bracelet and case back tomorrow after work. |

Really depends on the era and state of the various parts. What's the serial range, does it have a matte dial? Original matching hands? Thick lugs? Box and papers? $5k is on the high end unless you answer yes to my previous questions. Post some photos and we can help more.

It depends on what kind of 5513 it is. If it's a gilt and it's original go for it, but that sounds like the price for a matte.

The 5513 was produced between 1962 and 1989 in three main configurations: gilt gloss dial, matte dial, and gloss dial with white gold surrounds. I look forward to seeing the pics of the one you are considering. Hopefully it is a nice example, fairly priced, and would look great on your wrist.
