Honest opinion....
Guys,
Wanted to get an idea on what my watch is valued at, approached a local watch blog to get some feedback as they seem like an interesting bunch.... Pretty much came back with, its worth about 3K... cause no bracelet or box/papers.... Whilst I'm looking at other avenues of getting it valued, I was rather upset at this comment .... I know its probably worth a lot more to me, and I might be dreaming.... But the watch is all original and it's a gilt from 1966, and been in the family since early 70's....  any feedback on rough value appreciated... |

If the OP knows it is a gilt than he knows a bit about these watches. I therefore think he also knows the answer to his question.

From the top view, I can see chamfers and some seriously thick crown guards for a watch that age.
Uh yeah, way more than 3k |

My guess is he not aware of the meaning of gilt dial.
He posted at other watch blogs and the so call experts there pointed to him a "gilt dial" and hence his knowledge of gilt. Best bet is to check ebay and see... |

$3k you say? where do i sign the check? actually, ill give you cash for this deal... since im a nice guy! looks like people were trying to take advantage or you want to up your post count
2 years ago it was worth about 3k maybe 4k https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=223940 heres one that recently sold here, and I think yours is a bit better condition so i could see you getting +/- $1500 to that price |

Please do not confuse 5512 and 5513. The watch in the listing you pointed to a 5512. This watch is a 5513. Yes, it is worth more than $3K, but I agree with forum rules, let the poster do some research first.
As far as gilt - "gilt == yellow" Early Subs (from 1953 to 64) had glossy finish and gilt writing. Later Rolex switched to matte finish and white writing. Quote:

guys,
not trying to get post count up ..... just wanted to get some opinions thats all... As i have seen gilt's start off at 3k mark on ebay (pretty ordinary condition) , but also have seen some for 15k buy it now price.... so its a bit of sliding scale based on condition, so I find it hard trying to get an accurate price on it.... is there such thing as a pricing scale for these watches ????? |

Gilt dials have gold colored lettering on the dial instead of white. Your watch is substantially higher than what you were quoted.
