Hello from PDX
Looking to buy my first Rolex - probably a Submariner. Considering going older a getting a "vintage" from the early seventies but I'm open. Would like to keep the price below $4k, cosmetic dings don't bother me much
 Any advice appreciated, any thanks for having me. |

Welcome to TRF Sibling....
 The Submariner is classic and would be a great choice for a first Rolex!!!!  Vintage Subs are great as well,but do your homework and research them well...Many pop up here on the sale's boards and lots of info as well..! Enjoy the site and good luck!! Rob.

Welcome to TRF!
There's currently a gloss dial 5513 for below $4k in the classifieds section. And for a $100 over $4k there's a matte dial 5513 too. Good luck.
