In my early 20’s I really wanted a vintage sub but was obviously limited financially. I found a 5513 matte dial meters first that had been re-lumed that I could afford because of the relume. I’ve had it almost a decade now and with early 5513’s reaching $10kusd territory I was wondering what someone might value my re-lumed watch knowing it would be significantly less than that. I took it to both a reputable vintage dealer and a local AD that has some vintage pieces. Both said that because of the relume they had no interest in it at all because it was unsellable. Does a good relume really make a vintage watch unsellable?
