What should go; to add a 1680 red?

You are obviously a dive fishinado, so get rid of the ugly sister (Explorer).

And if you have to let go another, the 5513 (did I mention DIBS!).

It seems your taste is moving towards vintage(sickening), so get rid of the moderns. The red sub would make your collection complete n absolutely killer.


I blame it on the autoconnect.

Why chase the red? You have a great 5513.

Difficult...... I can only say if I were in your position and bought a Red Sub I would keep the 5513 and 16750. Something modern would have to go. As a previous poster commented vintage and modern is a difficult combination....

Very good question. I'd be okay with a white 1680 and save the extra AUD6/7k on not having that one line of Red. You don't think a nice 1680 would balance out the no date 5513?

Get rid of the ones that you wear least.

And that's the BLNR followed close by the 114060

It's all in the details my friend, it's all in the details. Why people pay a premium for big triangle, applied logo or step dial, etc.?

Btw, 1675/0, 5513 and red 1680 is a deadly combo.

If it was my collection I would sever ties with the 114060 sub and the 116710 BLNR to help fund a 1680 (hopefully red)

A combo of 1016, 1675 and a 5513 would be my choice. The rest of them can go if I were you.

Modern rolex to go first in my opinion. Keep the vintage.

I have seen white 1680 full sets with asking prices more than Red Subs.

Also, it seems like there are more Reds on the market than Whites...used to a be ton, but not much anymore.

I am liking the whites in as much as an extra AUD6/7 for one red line isn't doing much for me right now 😗😁

Man, are 1680 whites $6-7k down there for a good one?

I know you went the 5513 vs. 1665...what about a 1665 or a 5512? Any of those will pair well with your 5513.

I would buy based on dial patina, case and bezel insert...seek the best example and don't necessarily go by reference.

Haha...nah the whites are between AUD10-11k and the reds around 16k. I meant that I wasn't sure about paying an extra AUD6-7k for one line of red print 0- but as someone said earlier it's all about the detail
