I am putting up for sale the Rolex 5513 from 1967 with meters first dial that I acquired here on OF recently. It is a beautiful example of the reference IMHO, however, it turns out I am just not a vintage Rolex guy. So, I would like to release it back into the wild, hopefully to stay in the OF family.

With permission from the previous seller, here is a link to his listing:

I also received permission to use his photos, as I have had a hard time getting good shots of the watch myself. All the photos except for the first two are from the previous seller’s listing.

I think the previous seller’s listing contained an accurate description of the watch. Here are the bullet points:

*Beautiful dial with even yellow patina with no tool marks and free from any damage

*Fat font insert has faded evenly to a gray navy hue and is in excellent condition

*Previously polished case displays even lugs with top lines still visible

*Serial number engravings are sharp and easy to read

*C&I rivet bracelet shows slight stretch

The watch comes with the vintage Rolex inner and outer boxes shown in the first photo.

I put it on a Horween strap, which will be included along with the bracelet.

I have worn the watch only once out of the house, so it is in the same condition as when I received it.

I had the watch examined by Kelly Hunter of artofthewatch.com and he has confirmed in writing its authenticity and correctness. I am willing to share his writeup with any serious potential buyer.

I feel no need to ask more for the watch than my acquisition cost; neither am I inclined to take a loss. So, I’m asking a FIRM $13,850 net of any fees plus actual shipping costs. No lower offers please. Payment by wire or PP net of fees. Not interested in a trade, thanks.

I can now ship domestically in CONUS by UPS or FedEx next day with full Parcel Pro insurance (estimated cost: $125).

I can now ship internationally by FedEx with full Parcel Pro insurance, with actual cost to be determined by destination and covered by buyer. Please note: I will declare full value on the package for insurance purposes and customs/duty fees are buyer's responsibility.

Buyer has three days following receipt to return the watch for any reason (so long as it is in the exact condition as when received and return shipping and insurance is paid by buyer.) After three days, the sale if FINAL.

Now, on to the photos…
