Nice sub. Dial has a blemish, which is disclosed in the listing, but I can't make it out in the pictures. 5513's sure have gone up in value over the past couple of years.

$8,500 with a dial blemish

dr-go · 22 March 2015, 04:09 AM

Here is a close up of the blemish

Lrlx · 22 March 2015, 09:14 AM

It's been months since I seen an example that clean looking.

azguy · 22 March 2015, 10:20 AM

It is clean and the case looks great, patina is perfect IMHO.

That blemish wouldn't bother me, I doubt it's visible with the naked eye, but down the road if you wanted to sell it you'll scare most people off with that or they'll throttle you on the price.

nice sub, m

Thanks for the help guys!

Looks like a beauty to me, and I'd hardly describe that as a 'blemish'

okthenor · 23 March 2015, 02:39 PM

Great example of a classic. Forget about the "blemish". The camera lens can be cruel.

$12,800 for a 1972 Sub with no accessories, on the same site! It's that a record?

well this is a bit awkward, it's a 5512 and I was in 5513 mode. Is that really how much more a 5512 commands over it's more minimal brother?

nsumner · 23 March 2015, 08:24 PM

The watch looks very nice and the seller is excellent.

Yes.....prices of good 5513's and 5512's have risen. Just like all vintage Rolex, you have to pay for a good example.

The_Walrus · 24 March 2015, 02:32 PM

Nice watch.
Site has it as 'on hold'.

crowncollection · 24 March 2015, 04:36 PM

Looks good to me

clock · 24 March 2015, 11:41 PM

Looks like an excellent example but on the high side.

Jiggo · 25 March 2015, 04:20 AM

Nice clean even patina serif dial, like it
except for the missing pearl?
