    1.9 million meters first 5513 with pristine untouched dial and uncommon aged eggshell colored markers, any imperfections you see are scratches on the crystal. Case has been expertly refinished by Beau at Los Angeles Watch Works, still with good lug thickness and symmetry. The movement was serviced in April 2018 at LAWW and is running perfectly. Receipts will be provided for the LAWW work performed. Period correct twinlock crown also installed at LAWW (triplock will be provided with the sale for the new owner if they wish to change). Tritium hands and service insert match the dial nicely and the watch is paired with a very good condition 93150 bracelet with nicely fitting Rolex 580 end links. Please note that the seconds hands glows a fraction brighter than the others and lasts about 5s longer after UV. The bezel is very tight and does not have any slack/play. Inside case back is stamped IV68 correct for this serial range. Watch was originally purchased from a colleague and friend who had himself purchased it from metersfirst in Los Angeles.

    Asking 13,900 USD shipped overnight worldwide with FedEx and Parcel Pro insurance. Buyer will have a 24h inspection period.

    Added a few closer crops of the UV shot that show the markers nicely.

    Thank you very much! Also just checked it on the timegrapher today, running 0 to +1s/day over 3 positions. Also would be happy to provide scans of the receipts from laww to those who are interested.

    Friday bump and a couple wrist shots to show off that creamy eggshell patina. Not many dials out there that have preserved this well!

    Have had some great trade offers, but looking for a cash deal.

    That said let's drop the price too 13,900 usd shipped overnight worldwide and insured. I don't think there's another mint dial meters first with thick case at this price out there.
