scott60 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-SUBMARINER-5513-CASE-EXCELLENT-1967-SIGNED-II-67-/130846440573?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e770e3c7d I ask because I have a nice clean 1530 movement and a lovely 5513 dial (refinished). I've been thinking of buying a Minh 6538 dial and Minh 6538 case to do an ultimate 6538 franken, but.....if I bought the above 5513 case at a decent price I'd have a gen/franken 5513 for little more than the cost of a replica 6538. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 6538 would be better! but I'm biased. It looks ok to me, the insert seems to be glued in and sloppily at that so that raises the question of why the insert doesn't snap into the bezel. Insert might be fake or the bezel but I'd say its the insert. Other than that the seller has good feedback and says if you have any questions to feel free to ask. So feel free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So feel free yeah, thanks. he's so far told me that case, bezel and insert are original. I asked him about the how smooth the bezel rotation is. should it be 120 clicks for full rotation?

lionsandtigers Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 no clicks on the vintage, bi-directional. I wouldnt drop 3k on a case, not for a 5513. So even if it's real I would say it's overpriced. And he had it on there for 3k, then changed it to 2600, and now back to 3k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott60 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 That's what I'm saying, without a bracelet you deffinitly can find one for around 3k sometimes even cheaper depending on condition. Most ppl do Frances because its cheaper than buying all gen, but in this case its not worth it. IMOP Thanks so much for this. I thought they went around 5K and that if this case went for 2K maybe it would be a deal. I'll wait until I can buy something from someone I trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
