Where can I fondle a 5513 in central NC?

[dbt001]

Hi, all. I'm getting serious about a 5513 as my first Rolex purchase, as a daily wearer. Obviously I'd like to see and hold one before I buy, and would ideally like to buy from someone local.

I've searched the vintage dealer list, but didn't see anyone in North Carolina. I'm in the Raleigh-Durham area. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave

Nice taste. I love the 5513 vintage Rolex models. I do not know of any vintage dealers in that part of the country locally that you can drive to. Sorry, but there most likely are not any. However, there are plenty of reputable trustworthy dealers online that offer a 3 to 5 day full money back return policy. That means if you dont like the watch for any reason, just send it back. Most offer free shipping too. Just google "vintage Rolex" or something similar and plenty will come up. Good luck!

I think you should disclose to the OP that your business will come up among the first results...

The 5513 is one of my favorite. That will probably be my next model. I would really like to find a 1980 model.

I think there is a trusted seller Kangar in North Carolina and there are a couple of ADs in Raleigh. One at the south point mall that I can recall

It is illegal in some states to fondle a 5513.......I'd check.

It may take some driving to do that. Take a look at some Virginia and Georgia dealers.

Only if the 5513 is less than 18 years old.

Actually, I think it may be 16 in North Carolina. Earlier if it belongs to a cousin.

Thanks. It never occurred to me to check the ADs for vintage.

Hello from NC

None of the major ADs I have seen carry preowned stock, and certainly not vintage. I would try jewelers.

Thanks, Daniel. I've seen your posts. When I know my timeframe for purchase, I assume I can let you know?
