So recently I got these... What do you think?

Hello!

So after reading a lot, and some threads in this forum (Thank you all for the help)

I have made some purchases during the last year and a half:

All come from a reputable dealer in my area (Europe), with expertise in Vintage. I have done my due diligence and all look authentic and without issues, nonetheless, one is never 100% sure haha. So any input or discrepancies on what I have got & price paid would be greatly appreciated!

So here is an awesome pic of my Grail, 1680 Red from a recent photoshoot!




And here what I've got:

1. 1996 16610 Sub Date, Full set, looks in very good condition to me!

https://ibb.co/T2p5yBY
https://ibb.co/bm3zBs8
https://ibb.co/ZK5PbrT

2. 1999 14060 Sub No Date, Full set, worse condition than the no date, looks unpolished to me, I guess this is the last series before the 14060M as it has the luminova dial, it is my daily, paid 10k$

3. 1975 (Although the caseback says 72) 5513 Sub No date (3.99M Serial), beautiful patina both in the dial & hands. Bracelet, matching clasp year, quite stretched but I wear it on a NATO, insert looks newer, right? paid around 15k$

https://ibb.co/dQGQ1Z6
https://ibb.co/8NP074t
https://ibb.co/7ShdyZR
https://ibb.co/Q65qF0K


4. 1970 1680 Red Sub MKIV Dial, with matching bracelet and correct clasp. (2.38M Serial) Beautiful patina, and faded bezel (but missing the tritium pip ), I wear it with a 93150 bracelet for confort. Paid around 22k$

https://ibb.co/tCx6PqM
https://ibb.co/5T707Kj
https://ibb.co/7QQtGtv
https://ibb.co/9pk8Xht
https://ibb.co/fQdJbWH
https://ibb.co/m0rWbxn
https://ibb.co/nBM14b0
https://ibb.co/bJYGvt7

All of them run really good, within +/-4 seconds as per my Chinese Timegrapher.

So how did I do?

Next on the list are a 5 digit SD, 5 digit White Explorer & hopefully a Daytona (This one will have to wait a bit!)

Have a great Sunday!

Pretty wild. Price of the Red Sub seems in the right ballpark, but just to be clear are you saying that the pip is aftermarket? It looks cracked. Also, is that dial damage at 2 mins past 12? Did the 93150 come with it in addition to 9315? Despite any of this, this is an incredible collection so far.

I meant that the pip is cracked, not aftermarket, I would have liked it to be intact but its very uncommon.

No dial Damage, I guess it is from the picture/plexi scratches...

Yes! Watch came with the original 9315 and I negotiated an extra 93150, as It is far easier to size and more confortable to use.

Thanks for the comments!
