Hi,

I'm conflicted on which watch to pick up. I like them both but thinking the 1665 is a better example but obviously pricier. Any input would be much appreciated!

5513 Maxi Mk3: http://www.chrono24.com/rolex/1979-m...-id6405738.htm

Best,

JG

Don't know much about either of them from a collectors perspective, but I sure like that 5513.

The 5513 is nice, but it looks like it has a service insert and crystal. Nothing wrong with that, but worth noting.

The 1665 looks nice too, and I'd go with the SD if I had the extra cash. Very different watches on the wrist, so it's a matter of personal preference. I'd research here:

Interesting..I own a mk3 5513 and a mk1 1665 lol...so my favorites. This is going to be a hard pick...but if money allows I think nice 1665s are a bit harder to come by....both very comfortable though imo.

glotzlaw · 9 June 2017, 12:39 PM

Yes. I am leaning towards the 1665. Didn't realize the 5513 had service insert. I've tried on a 1665 and doesn't feel too big. This looks great and hopefully all original!

I just bough a 1665 and am loving it, I think 1665 Great White's were only made for 3 or 4 years which makes it more rare than the 5513, if you have the money, I would recommend the 1665.

Well according to the advert., the 5513 is only good to 30 meters, so I'd pass on that one

redfred · 9 June 2017, 09:37 PM

Have both and for me the 1665 is much better, just feels that little more substantial but whatever you choose you should be happy.

glotzlaw · 9 June 2017, 11:26 PM

Do you think this is a better example 1665?:
