Description

Unpolished       - This 5513 Submariner with MK4 Maxi dial is one hell of a watch. There is no other reference from Rolex which embodies such a strong  DNA like a 5513. The long production run of the reference brings so much variety and if we could, we bought them all. This very example is a 1982 example and bears a Maxi dial with larger lume plots than earlier references. The dial is sheer flawless and bears a excellent surface with beautifully aged lume plots. The bezel is sharp and crisp holding a correct gun metal grey insert with original Tritium pearl. The 93150 Oyster with dive extension is mint and doesn't show much wear from age. The entire watch has a fully homogenius condition and looks very strong on the wrist. This is a mint example of a the most iconic tool watch of all times and it is astonishing to see it in this condition

The Rolex Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is without a doubt one of the most successful Rolex models in history. Not only because it more than aptly served its purpose as diver’s watch, although I am pretty sure only a small number of Submariners has ever seen a spat of water. Its appearance in several James Bond movies certainly helped as well. If you omit functionality and marketing, the Submariner success is mainly due to its elegance as a timeless dress watch. It’s just one of those watches you keep looking at, regardless of wanting to know the time of day. The Submariner was launched in 1953 and officially presented at the Basel Fair in 1954.
