Hello Everyone!
I am new to this forum and really trying to find the best deal in finding a 1978 (my birth year) Submariner 1680 or 5513. Anyone could offer help/advice where to get one in good condition will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance! Petros. |

Best advice I can think of is don't get locked down into looking for the best deals and scrapping the bottom of the barrel trying to save money. Have $7-$9k ready for a good 1680 or $10-$13k ready for a good 5513. When I say good I mean condition and originality......seek out the good regular vintage dealers on the forum.....HQMilton, Iconic Watches/Michael Morgan, springer, greekbum, Kirill/Lunaroyster/krlzyuh etc comes to mind for me since they've been great to me. While you're looking, research research and then do more research.....but buy a good example and move on without regrets. Enjoy the hunt and good luck, those requirements aren't terrible difficult in today's market (yet). |

This is good advice. Buy the best you can afford not the cheapest you can find... Sent from my cracked, broken hand wound phone. IG @morning_tundra |
