Hey all. I bought this seadweller about 3 weeks ago from Jacek on Hqmilton. I received it but found out that it wasn't serviced and the winding teeth has broken off. I sent it for servicing with my watchmaker, and he serviced it with original oem Rolex parts that he had to wait for a week to arrive.

There's patina on the dial, hands and bezel insert. Even and matching.

Looks unpolished to me. Sharp lugs and bevels. A shop dealer actually commented that it looks to be in superb condition.

Why am I selling it so quickly after buying it? Actually I'm rather pleased with it, however I tried on a late 80s 5513 and I have been bitten by the 5513 bug.

I'm open to trade this for a nice example of a 5513, top up on my side. We can discuss it further via pm.

Otherwise, I'm looking for a straight sale on it to fund my 5513 ambitions.

Looking for 7200 USD for it. Shipping fees on me, via fedex insured. Paypal fees to be added 4%, otherwise bank transfer.

Please find the pictures of the watch as attached

This is an excellent watch with a reasonable price. A great starter watch for anyone in the vintage field!

Good luck with sales!

It's lovely 😀 What happened to the bezel between the first set of pics and the last one - different lighting? GLWS!

I actually went ahead to put it in some bleach. Turns out beautiful imo.
You may want to replace the old photos with updated ones Incase someone doesn’t scroll all the way down. GLWS
