Description
Time capsule 5513 - We'd say the 5513 is undisputably the most iconic watch of all times and inevitably a must have for the passionate Vintage Rolex collector. With a production run of approx. 25 years the 5513 probably had the longest production run for a single Rolex reference creating a wide range of case and dial variants. Now to the watch on offer, what we have here is a time capsule condition 5513 Serif dial Submariner. On watches like these we often say, its better than when new. The absolute mint case is 100% unpolished showing beautiful factory bevels and and crisp lug holes and case numbers. The bezel is sharp and holds a mint fat font insert which has aged to a dark gunmetal grey color changing shades in the sunlight. The tritium pearl is still present. The watch comes on a 9315 folded Submariner bracelet with diving extension. It is hard to believe that even after almost 50 years the bracelet does not show any stretch, this only manifests that the watch hasn't been worn much. The dial is striking end excellent, sheer flawless with beautifully aged lumes which have aged to a vivid cream-yellow color and minty matching hands. We didn't use the word New Old Stock yet but that would describe the watch best. This watch is a absolute cracker, as good as it gets and a must have for someone at the highest level of expectations.
