F.Castro Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 It was service at 2004, pressure tested and time keeping tested in 2013, all good and running cocs. She is from 1979. But is she worth the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gw4k Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 i dont undertand why 5513 mattes are so high, for 1k more, you can get a 1680 matte white! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 That's a serif dial. In the early 5 million serial range so 79 is unlikely, more like 77. The case may have a 79 serial but that dial is earlier. This looks like the dial on that watch http://www.network54.com/Forum/539572/message/1345660278/5513--5.09mil+SN%2C+feet+first+with+serif+lume+bars--posted+by+Evisu140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Case/caseback: $2k Bezel assembly: $700 (However, I'm not convinced that's a gen bezel) Insert$ 500 Dial/hands: $1200 cal 1520: $1000 Total: $5400 It's worth more than $4450 if you parted it out. Is the 93150 included? If so that's worth another $600-700 if in good shape. So to answer your question. Yes, it's worth it for the price assuming all the parts are gen. Is the dial period correct? As @l&t said, probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 @dbane883 with you on the bezel. teeth are a little shallow. Same insert as mine so price estimation is right, possibly worth a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.Castro Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 How about this one, worth the money? http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=321108 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 How about this one, worth the money?http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=321108 Worth is relative. But I'd rather pay $5500 for the '67 than $4500 for the '79. Jacek is a well known seller on VRM as well. I think you could buy the '67 will full confidence. Replace the service with a superdome though. That MF dial is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Between those two, I would go for the MF. Maybe ask about the brown spotting (rust?) on the case neck. Look between the rehaut and the insert between 10 and 20. Does it affect other parts of the midcase or bezel assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.Castro Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 @j I also saw that, and i dident ask the seller becuse it was already sold! I found a new one more modern http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=338928 I kinda like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbane883 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 ok. I'll say it, I don't think you're ready to buy. I suggest you hold off until you know exactly what you want before plopping down $5k. You just went through 3 eras of 5513's in the span of a few hours. Yes, all three, in their own way are beautiful, but ask yourself what you really want and why. Is there any significance for you for a '89 5513 over a '67 meters first or vice versa? Maybe pick your birth year and go from there. Once you decide, scour the earth looking for the right one. You will appreciate the hunt alot more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcotter Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 dbane, I agree wholehardedly...Spend several weeks on VRF & you'll see many 5513's, you'll learn plenty & your comfort w/ grow plenty! Don't buy until you understand the variations of your model....Learning is very satisfying....A 5513 is a great choice! Best, mcotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Love the birth year idea. I struggle with same issue. I like this one, Like that one....Did the same thing with a corvette a few years back. Had many over the years and like most models from 56-72. Was looking for another and looking at all those different years and models. Driving myself and those around me nuts...Picked birth year as starting point and bought 1966 L88 Roadster. At least by picking the year was able to narrow down the search....this is great idea for watches too. Thanks for that. I see a 1966 GMT in my future:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6now Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I agree with dbane. Know first what you really like and focus on getting that after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
