1530 movement to be installed in my 5513

[mohamedalimam]

Hi Everyone,

I have (1970) 5513 Sub, with the same problem as many others, it has 1570 movement, I am very keen to get a 1530 movement to be installed and maybe sell the 1570 to recover some of the cost.

however, they are not easy to find and the ones I find are close to $3k movement only.

do you think installing the right movement will add this cost to the value, is it worth it?

OR shall I just save the money toward the 1675 I am planning to buy next????????

I know this is rather a personal preference kind of thing, however will love to see how other people think in the Rolex Vintage World, any thoughts will help.

Thanks

Do you have a photo of the movement that shows the balance cock and regulator? It would be good to double check that it is actually a cal 1570 movement, and not just a bridge that is marked 1570, which could have been installed during service.

exactly! Its more likely that its a 1530 with a changed bridge. Photo of the balance wheel would be helpful

Hi Dan,

As far as I know from the regulator it is 1570, however the chances are I might be wrong, pic of my watch movement is below:
