For trade is my 5513 Submariner, serial 5.20m, which dates to 1977. This is a beautiful vintage sub in great condition.
This is the Pre-Comex dial, which existed for a short time during 1977. It succeed the serif and non-serif dials with the fatter coronet, which ran from about 1970 to 1977. And then it preceded the Maxi 5513 that ran from about 1977 to 1984. The pre-Comex dials is the transition dial, hence has the fatter coronet from the early 70's and the maxi lume from the 70's to early 80's.
I purchased the watch in June 2020. The watch is telling great time, and has been since I've owned it.
It comes on a 93150 bracelet with correct 580 end links. I purchased the bracelet in 2020 at Damiani Jewelers. It comes with the full 12 links.
To me everything about this watch is perfect, except for a few small patina marks on the dial near the 5 o'clock and the 11 o'clock. You can only see this marks when you're really looking for them, in natural lighting outside. It never bothered me at all to be honest, but I'm mentioning it because I'm OCD about my vintage pieces. The marks by the 5 o'clock can be seen in the first picture which I took outside, and on an angle at which I could capture them.
The case on this watch is unbelievable in my opinion, as can be seen in the pictures.
Looking for a trade on this one. Value will depend on a bunch of factors of course, but I'll say around $22,000 trade value.
