5513 Full Set  from Saudi Arabia       - Here is a great example of the last generation 5513 Submariner reference before it was discontinued in 1989. The case is healthy and fat shows nice bevels on the lugs, The bezel is also in excellent condition and holds a period correct insert with nicely aged tritium pearl. The dial is very attractive showing creamy lumes and matching hands. This watch was initially sold in 1986 in Saudi Arabia, showing on the original warranty. We are happy that the previous owner has kept all documents including booklets and calendar, further the box with carton and reference sticker. This is a very cool Submariner to wear on a daily basis and a great first 5513 to start the collection.

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.
