Submariner 5513 on Chrono24
I didn't know how to take the photos from the ad so I'm posting the link here. I'm hoping people can give me an opinion on this piece.

It's a relumed dial, potentially fake, on a much newer watch, with an even newer insert, from a seller with a bad reputation.

You probably won't get a decent matte dial 5513 with a bracelet for $9k. So you will either need to expand your budget, or consider later models.

What do you think is a good budget? I was in Tokyo and saw a few nice ones in the $15-$20K range but again, I don't know what to look for and the people selling it seemed to know less than me. Just obvious things like the lume on the hands not matching the lume on the markers.

For a meters first 5513, you probably won't find a nice one for under $13,000.

Dial Original Professionally Relumed Rolex 'Meters First' Black Dial This is the slimiest of language. Box Yes, this item includes an elegant cushioned presentation watch case. (Pictured) Papers Yes, this item will include a Collectors Coins & Jewelry certificate of appraisal and authenticity as per buyer request. Like this jerk doesn't know what 99.9% of people consider box and papers. Might as well include a cereal box and newspaper. Yep, has a box and papers with it alright.

The owner might have something tucked in the back in his personal collection he is willing to let go. At the very least you can have a chat and learn more about what to look for. I did a trade with him back in 2012. He has a lot of good stuff tucked away he pulled out 3-4 Red Subs and let me pick which one I wanted during a trade. Here is an honestly described Gilt 5513 with some flaws, but some charm and character he has listed: https://honolulutime.com/watches/rol...0-insert-5513/

In my case it's probably best that I have him help me find something that fits my budget. I can see how this will cost me a lot if I try to find a nice bargain and end up buying some crap. |

I am not talking about a pristine unpolished collector-quality piece, box&papers, or the most desirable variants (e.g. Mk1 maxi), just a solid, appealing, wearable matte dial 5513.

Comes with a bracelet also. Doesn’t get much cheaper for a gilt 5513.
