I recently attended the NYC watch meet up earlier this week and got to play with a lot of vintage watches. This really peaked my curiosity for vintage pieces. I've only started collecting fairly recently with modern pieces but vintage watches have always been in the back of my mind but I don't know enough about them yet to pull the trigger. I wanted to ask some general questions that might point me in the right direction in terms of how much one should expect to pay. Once I figure out the price ranges, I can determine which watch I should focus my research on.
The three vintage Rolex's that have been on my mind are the 5513, 1680, and of course the 1680 red. Are there any up-to-date sites that have current market prices? I've begun doing some pricing research but there is so much discrepancy I was hoping someone can help narrow the field down.
So my MAIN question would be, assuming I were to get a fair conditioned watch. What is the price point high/low for each reference? Perhaps this question is too general and year, box/papers, and other factors might affect the price but feel free to give any suggestions!
5513 - ???
1680 - ???
1680 red - ???
