Rolex 5513 Opinions

[JKAI]

New to the world of vintage Rolexes and would appreciate the input and opinions on the value, authenticity and originality of parts (e.g dial, rehaut) of my Rolex 5513 (1973) Non Serif Dial Submariner. Thank you!

You’ll get replies from experts which much more knowledge than me but would think they’ll need more pics, all I’d say is the bezel insert looks like a service replacement

If you make some effort, we can help you more. Also, a bit of an introduction would be nice when joining a community of enthusiasts. If you're not inclined to interact with the group, just think of it as a basic courtesy.

Please post more and better photos from all angles, including between the lugs after removing the bracelet and the inside of the caseback and the movement if possible. Also show photos of the bracelet and clasp, front and back. Move the hands so that they are not obscuring printing on the dial. Put the watch in better natural lighting, and make sure that the photo is in focus. Crop out the excess and post photos of the watch itself, we don't need the background. Digital photos are free, so take a lot of photos and only post the good ones.

Service insert with strange pearl here. Hard to say more from this only pic

Better photos needed. Rehaut looks odd

[worldofoyster]

Thanks!

With a bit of study, this will be very apparent to you. So I suggest studying the various fonts of the insert versions. You can use google to find my resources on the internet. Here are a few examples:

Hi! Thank you everyone for your inputs. My apologies with regards to the lack of pictures so attached are some more close ups of the watch. Really appreciate the insights! If I may add, what would a rough evaluation of the value of the watch be? Thanks!

Whats that pearl from?

[Dan S]

For valuation, I'd suggest doing some market research on recent 5513 sales. It's a common reference, so that will be easy enough. And then subtract the price of a period-correct insert, because your insert has negligible value.

Do you have photos of the engravings on this watch?

The bracelet is a later addition. The 93150 was introduced first quarter 1976.
