ArkoN Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi, after the server crash, I`m happy that everything is working :-) So a local dealer in Switzerland located at Basel, offers this one: ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL from 1965 SUBMARINER REF. 5513 REG. 166X*** (ROGER MOORE) in good condition, not polished, zertificate, box, kroko band, nato strap Sorry got no better pictures right now. What do u think, its real? (If I gonna buy it, anyway I`m going to take it to a local AD to have it checked) What do u think is it worth?

Justasgood Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) 5513, fix your title. Heavily polished lugs, later dial and hands service crystal. Value - $4000 - $4500 (only because of box and I assume original papers) Of course this is just my opinion Edited January 12, 2011 by Justasgood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Not sure about the claim of not being polished... Looks like it's seen a buffing wheel more than a few times in it's life (or maybe just once in the wrong hands). Based on the pics, looks like it's seen some servicing in it's time as well... Newer insert and other bits. What's the asking price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hard to tell what it's worth from a few photos. In your post, you said gen 5512 then in the body you said 5513. you can get some idea of values by going over to the Vintage Rolex market. Quite a few 5512's and 5513's come up for sale over there all the time. Looking back at your photos this is a non chronometer model. mybe some of the Rolex experts will chime in and give you more nformation. unless Switzerland is different, the AD won't give you and appraisal, but they can tell you if it is authentic. I doubt that you would find a rep watch in a jewelry store in Switzerland. The AD can also take off the caseback and it should tell you more about the model, date built and possibly dates of service.

FxrAndy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Title changed, Polished or not it is stil nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 If it's being offered by a local dealer, I would definitely ask for more pictures and have them open the caseback up and take some pictures of the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkoN Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 thanks everyone for the help, the asked price is way over youre guessed value.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capice Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 that's why it's called asking price .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapman57 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 For a mid 1960's 5513, with box set, papers and provenance; and from a European/Swiss dealer I would not be surpised at an 'asking price' of between £5 and £7k................. Certainly £4.5k to upper £6k is a UK/Euro dealer price from what I have seen. Low end price without box/papers. Later 1980's models will be £2.5 to £4k maybe? Just my view.............sales price is something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Why does the crown appear to be offset "high" in the second picture? The CGs seem asymmetrical to match. Is it the parallax of the photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
