5513 PCG Gilt Underline . . .full, full set. 1965

Post by smellody » Wed Mar 29, 2023 3:50 pm

As you all drool over Rolex's new releases, I've gone old school... again.

Just in and I'm over the moon. I have other gilt no crown guard subs, but this one is amazing. Picked it up today.

Gilt, underline dial. Not a crack or craze. Acrylic crystal has some deep scratches, but most buffed out. Actually thought the dial was going to be all cracked when I first saw the watch.

Pointed crown guard with original crown:

Box and papers? How about everything including the original sales receipt:

Serviced? Yes, once by Rolex in 1975 for $47 plus $2 shipping.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And If I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Thanks all. No big story. First, I really thought these had all been bought up. . . .but as I just discovered they still surface. Anyone looking should have a relationship with local jewelers. This is where items like this show up, especially with older folks who don't use the interwebs (like us).

I'm grateful my jeweler let me make an offer before he wholesaled it and it would eventually surface with one of the online dealers.

Anyhow, I'll keep those cards close, but I'm over the moon!

That's a good price for an overhaul even considering that minimum wage was $2.10 in 1975. That watch cost about $440 in 1972 when I checked them out, IIRC.
