1968 5513 value
I've been hearing rumors lately in regards to a substantial increase in the value of Rolex submariner 5513's, can I ask if there's substance in these rumors and how much of an increase is expected?

From what I have been seeing, dealers have been asking between 10,500 and 11k for 5513 whites in beautiful condition and have been getting their asking price.
meters first to feet first, maxi to non maxi and serif dials all seem to be fetching within the same price points for awhile now. It's just a matter of preference but cant go wrong with any choice. These prices are high for 5513's but its the new market. |

Condition is really everything. An average example is more 7-8k and a mint one could almost reach the double. Nothing different from other hot things vintage.

worth searching this forum properly - I have seen this picture pop up before - there were some discussions around this piece - can't recall conclusion.

sure it was me after clarification in regards to the hands and dial and I was informed they are Rolex service replacements, this was factored into the sale price at the time, my 1st Rolex and from what I've learnt I'm very pleased with it.

I would say, if you trust the dealer, the watch has been serviced by RSC which means it's coming to you issue free. 7 to 8k range sounds about right. best of luck with your decision. |

errm, I do own the 5513 in the photo, its dated 1968, hands a dial are possible 25 -30 years old, and yes the insert would have been changed also at some point in the watches history, interestingly using the information on the service card I checked with Rolex to make sure that it was all above board, their response; it was given a full service and the only advisory was the hands and dial are beginning to deteriorate... and so the cycle continues..... I now have better idea of how much if at all Submariners have increased by, |
