Description

This is a gorgeous early Rolex Submariner reference 5513 circa 1977. This 'Pre-Comex' dial is all original and in pristine condition. The lume has a nice creamy tone which matches the lume on the hands. The case of this watch is nice and strong and does have normal scratches from lite wear over the years. The watch comes on its original Rolex heavy oyster bracelet with flip lock clasp.

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.
