Thank you all for the Reb Sub on eBay comments/feedback. I have just been offered a 5513 Maxi dial (1981) in excellent condition for 400,000 Japanese yen or roughly $4300 US. I have attached photos. It was serviced in 1996 by Rolex Japan and comes with that overhaul paperwrok (Rolex Japan). I know the owner...one of the top Japanese private collectors in Japan. Is it a deal? Why or why not? I need to reply within the next few days.

Thanks,

David in Japan

Looks like a great example.

Probably will need a service by this time.

Great piece at a good price.

I would do it--great looking watch and has RSC papers--as Mike said will probably need service again-also good price!!

Just told the owner I would take it. Will pick it up later this week. He has 3 other great looking items he just put up on Yahoo Auction Japan:

Would kill for the DRSD. What do you think of the price for that ($22,000 US.)

Cheers,

Sugoi desu ne?

I will likely buy my next watch in Japan. As a general rule, all second hand watches I see are in such beautiful shape. The vintage watches at Jack Road looked wonderful.

Your 5513 looks MINT!

Yoroshiku!
