Beachcomber Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Gents, my quest continues and it's killing me, mostly now that I've found out that inserts are so Damn expensive. What do you think about this one? It has been offered to me for 5, what do you think? A fair deal? Thanks.

cc33 Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Great deal its a long 5 If you can live with the condition of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks I like the fade and I think it'll look killer on my 5513. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 great price. a little to much wear for my taste but you wont find one for cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 I just picked it up. Yes, I believe this is a good price for a long 5. I've been doing research and many are asking upwards of 800, so I guess 5 is a good deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachcomber Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks, I'm psyched, I understand the long 5 is actually a MK2. I have learned so much whilst on my quest for the perfect insert and now consider myself pretty much a expert, I never really paid too much attention in these, just so long as they looked good I was happy.

droptopman Posted May 9, 2015 Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Great deal. Rarely see them for less than 1k in any condition. Sent from my droptop using telepathy ️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 this is still insane to me; $500 for a piece of well used painted aluminum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Especially when a NIB service insert can be had for $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachcomber Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 this is still insane to me; $500 for a piece of well used painted aluminum I know, right? When I bought my Red 1680 a while back I remember the seller telling me I was getting a great deal due to the kissing 4 insert, later after receiving the watch I did some investigating and found out that the insert I had in the watch could be worth as much 2 grand to the right buyer! I couldn't believe it. It just goes to show you how crazy collecting vintage Rolex can be. Here's a pic of the insert that was on my Red, beautiful.

Beachcomber Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Beautiful. What is a kissing 4? Look at the above insert, see how the 4 touches the 0? That's a kissing 4, very expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 ... Here's a pic of the insert that was on my Red, beautiful. ... i noticed you said "was" . did you get the $2k for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
