Vintage Rolex Submariner 5513 - MINT

Dear Forum,

my Rolex Collection has (unintentionally!!) been growing a lot recently. Even though i got this great example of a 5513 (Serial 3,3 mil) just recently from a trusted friend, i feel like i should reduce my collection a bit. Not sure if i really should, because a watch in this condition seems hard to find. I am convinced that only perfect examples like this one will develop in price and will always find a collector / buyer in the future.

It has been serviced recently (no real "proof" for that, as it was a "cash-deal" with a famous vintage Rolex specialist in Germany). But once you look inside you will know.

It has a 93150 Bracelet with 580 endlinks. The Patina is crrrrrreamy! Perfect Dial, fat case, etc. Oh yeah, and a super domed Crystal.

Serial and reference nr are perfectly clear and sharp.

This watch is the most accurate Rolex i have ever worn. incredible: +2 Seconds in 8 days.

Well, what else would you like to know - just ask.

Asking Price is 11.000€. And YES, this is where 5513s in this condition are at - at least in Germany. I believe this is a fair price as there are not many watches out there in this condition. I almost paid the same when i got it.

Again, i am just thinking about selling it because that Double Red Sea Dweller still hurts a bit...And somehow one vintage 1665 Sub and a daily 14060 are enough dive watch for me.

Lemme know what you think!

Cheers!
Felix

Since I'm getting a lot of crazy trade offers, a little hint: I am into vintage watches only, no need to offer any modern watches. I like toolwatches in particular (you guessed by now...😉, pilot stuff, whatever. Keep it coming! 😉

Wait, you aren't interested in 2 Breitlings and a pittance of cash? Those watches retailed for $10,650 apiece!

i love this, shame you are not in the UK. the case is so sharp

Sounds like I'm living on mars! 😀 Why is it a shame?

You are always welcome to visit! Or I could just ship it to you...😉 but if no one REALLY wants it at that price, I'll keep it. They sure are on the rise...

TBH I have one very similar but your case is better - mine's a bit polished.. but I love these early 5513s.
I think the price is a bit high but it does seem to be a sellers market and good examples like this are fetching strong money. But the euro to gbp rate currently make this too strong for me at the moment,

first and last BUMP. 😀

The only thing besides your attitude that keeps me from buying this watch is a fantastic and original 1675 being offered to me for 9,5k Euro. Good luck.

good luck with the 1675- fantastic watch, i might for one sometime in the future, too...

Do you mind if i ask what it is that you dislike about my attitude? Did i say something inadequate? (i sometimes do, i know...😉

Thanks everyone! I will keep it for now, it's just a bit too early. I got great feedback, great trade offers - thank you OF, this truly is the best watch place on the net. THANKS!

Sold to a great forum member. Thanks OF for the space.

Congratulations, Felice! Happy for the new owner. FYI, I dig your fun lighthearted personable straight forward attitude. I’m not sure what Mr. Grump was referring to.

Thank you, I appreciate it a lot! Just being myself, which is- as always- not an easy task..😉 if you’re ever around Germany, please contact me anytime! Felice
