    I'm looking into getting a vintage 5513. Would appreciate if anyone help put a ballpark value on this 5513. It looks all original to me. Is that corrosion on the crown guard and on the back of the lugs? Thanks

    Killer, nice all the way around, hard to find a better example it even has the original 700 crown. Nice even patina all the way around. Looks polished but not too bad. A beautiful MK 3 FF insert almost pristine. Depending on the price of course. Bracelet a 93150?

    Anything less than 7k is a steal. I would imagine he's asking more in today's market though, 8 maybe?

    Thanks for your message. Yup 91350 with 501B endlinks. So the insert is a service replacement?

    Insert looks original mk3. Nice one at that.

    I don't think that's corrosion, looks like dirt on Crown guards. Nice looking case.

    Agree with all the assessments. It looks like a very nice early 70's non serif pre comes. It doesn't hurt to ask if the hands had been relumed. Since it's Chrono24, I would say at least 9k or higher. (Too lazy to go over). A very honest example. [emoji106]

    It seems so... The really nice ones sell at a premium price.

    $15,250 USD for this one (I have no affiliation with the seller, just comparing)

    5513 is a hot reference now. Price is about right.

    IMO it's a bit strap, I would see if you can get it for under 9 (doubtful due to the beautiful MK3 insert)but worth a try. These have shot up in price like crazy recently, not too long ago these could be had for around 5 with a matching 9315!

    Just when I thought the 1675 has finally caught up to its brother in terms of desirability and price, the sub took off to another level again. Go figure.

    Will it sell though? I would take the first one instead. If I send it to a pro, it would come back looking as good if not better.
