HEWLIO Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I am buying myself a birthday present. I want to get myself a nice new vintage rolex. Does anyone have any good suggestions for a nice rep under $150? I wouldent mind a GMT master. I already have 2 Seadweller 1665's. im thinking about just buying another one of josh's 98$ ones because i like it so much. Let me know what you guys think i should get.
sneed12 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I just put a vintaged 5513 up for sale...

Those under $100 new vintage watches are very interesting for the price. I was going to suggest that, but you have one.
HEWLIO Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Posted February 26, 2010 Those under $100 new vintage watches are very interesting for the price. I was going to suggest that, but you have one. Are there any other models for under $100? I am most likely going to buy another and shelf it for a while.
TeeJay Posted February 26, 2010 Report Posted February 26, 2010 I'd agree with the GMT Master, as you'll be able to pick up something reasonable out of the box in that price range, where other models might require various parts/modding And happy birthday :good
HEWLIO Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Posted February 26, 2010 GMT Master option 1 GMT Master option 2 Both of those look like they are very nice quality for the price. Can anyone tell me if they are good?
TeeJay Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 I wouldn't like to say about accuracy, but they both look nice, a little vintagizing of the case, crystal and insert, and I'm sure they'd pass muster
jmb Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 I bought the "Coke" model from idolreplicas ($20 less) and I think it's a fine looking watch. All I've done to it is open up the lug holes and put in correct spring bars but it really needs to have the insert faded a bit and I don't think the crystal "profile" is quite right. But, for the price I think you'd be hard pressed to find a significantly better deal.
HEWLIO Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Posted February 27, 2010 Well i ordered this and also another $98 sea dweller from josh. Hopefully that GMT will be nice.
jmb Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 It should be the same as mine except for the insert...
