Price advise - 68’ 5513

[Flying Clog]

Hi all,

Thinking of investing in a 1968 5513 for my “big birthday” but need some advise on pricing.

Have found online a nice looking piece from a trusted reseller - original dial, but replacement bracelet from the 80’s and bezel replaced in 2007. Not original box or papers.

Is EUR8-8.5k a “fair” price to offer ?

Cheers
FC

Mmmm... *If* it is from 1968: service insert, service hands, triplock crown instead the twinlock, 93150 bracelet I guess (it needs a 7206) and later dial (it needs a meters first).

Serial number?

Thanks for the observations - doing some further research online this appears to be a minefield as there are variations in dates for meters vs feet first dials as well as serif vs non serif font of "OYSTER PERPETUAL"

I don't have the SN but will ask.

If you get the serial number, we could know more than that single picture. Maybe the dial is non serif and maybe it could be good for a late 69 / early 70... but without serial number it's a guesswork.

Anyway, hands and insert are service replacements and you have to consider this info to make an offer. And bracelet is not absolutely from late 60s.

So the serial number is 290xxxx.

Looking again through online resources - I think this indicates an early 70's case ?

Is the lower crown guard really thin or is it just the lighting?

Do you have better pictures?

Interesting - I'd never heard of this before.
