salesforce use "TZ" time format try that
2013-07-01T17:00:00Z Or

The documentation for SObject Get Updated (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/resources_getupdated.htm) states that it expects ISO-8601, however you get an INVALID_DATE_FORMAT error unless you use the UTC format. See difference below. 

ISO-8601 .   2019-08-14T16:38:39+0000

UTC .   2019-08-14T16:38:39Z

Not sure the best place to suggest documentation updates, but this forum post is what helped me figure it out.
