The seller is misrepresenting this as unpolished. I think we should debate this at length!

That will buff right out! Seriously now. Very difficult to salvage anything. Maybe some screws.

mui.richard · 23 June 2018, 09:30 PM

Unpolished, ran over by a tank...

If you click on product details it mentions having a built in alarm...described exactly like the sub listed on EBay a few months back..strange

1675-David · 23 June 2018, 10:25 PM

whoever was wearing that watch at the time of the accident lost their arm at the very least...

05carbondrz · 24 June 2018, 03:36 AM

I’m sure it will sell for stupid money too....

nsxnext · 24 June 2018, 03:40 AM

Okay I'm confused. What exactly would someone do with that watch? If you sent it back to Rolex what would they offer to do for you?

The seller tried sending it to RSC. There is a receipt stating they they couldn’t repair it.

Small paperweight😊

Bxtek · 24 June 2018, 05:33 AM

Sad to see, but someone will probably do something with it. Maybe even rebuild it? Did you guys see that one thread about the roadkill Air King 116900 that got rebuilt? Definitely not as bad as this one, but hopefully a similar story will breathe new life into this 5513 someday.

007Sub · 24 June 2018, 05:38 AM

I hope whoever buys that has a gas mask for the tritium flaking off the lume plots haha

Fleetlord · 24 June 2018, 05:40 AM

This particular example exhibits honest wear.

I would suggest a light clean up with a damp cloth and put it on a bond style nato. Good to go. Whatever you do, DON'T polish it!

A polished case is more criminal than running it over with a truck...wait...nevermind.

Sherbie · 24 June 2018, 07:12 AM

Why not burn it in a house fire?

Throw everything away, but Keep the back, and inscribe some made up fake celebrity nonsense and give it to a reputable auction house to sell for millions

Just my 2 cents

I wonder if the backlight and alarm still work (-;

Dompropat · 24 June 2018, 09:32 AM

Yikes

watchtabs · 24 June 2018, 09:55 AM

The rolex won btw. I wonder how the car looks.

Xantiagib · 25 June 2018, 09:32 PM

c'mon rolex they fixed the one in the fire that was given by steve mcqueen to his stunt man - they can't recase this easy job?

kzm40 · 25 June 2018, 10:15 PM

It'd work in a glass or plastic paper weight. Other than that, total scrap.

spoilsofwar01 · 25 June 2018, 10:58 PM

Rolex's Response

Regrettably we cannot provide the service to your watch

No kidding

to me it looks like an industrial accident rather than the smashed by a car story,

Nah, not buying it, the story or the watch!

fenway · 25 June 2018, 11:04 PM

Does it come with box and papers?

offrdmania · 25 June 2018, 11:08 PM

The case itself looks like it may be salvageable if the lugs arent bent and possibly the main body of the movement?

andromeda160 · 26 June 2018, 12:05 AM

The amount of work required to salvage anything off this watch isn’t worth it. Maybe the crown tube lol

Rich and famous people get special treatment in our Society.If a regular Joe sent in his Rolex That he dug out of His burnt down house they would laugh.

mr500cm · 26 June 2018, 03:39 AM

I'm more impressed with the bidding price.....in 1988 I paid $900 for a really clean 5512. Makes me wonder what mine is worth now.

kirksingleton · 30 June 2018, 04:37 AM

$1300 now, 45 minutes left!

JnmEaton · 30 June 2018, 06:05 AM

that link took me to "Suunto Core all black watch Broken AS IS for Parts only or repair "

Huh.

Kingface66 · 30 June 2018, 06:48 AM

It sold for $1,727...for, basically, a heavily scarred, maybe useable case, a couple salvageable links, and maybe some movement pieces.

05carbondrz · 30 June 2018, 08:58 AM

That case was tweaked for sure.If someone thinks they are going to save it they are mistaken or they will spend so much Time the Numbers Won’t make sense(They already don’t)
