Hi guys, I have for sale a 2.6 serial Rolex Submariner 5513 in great conditions, with an unpolished case and original lume with a killer pumpkin patina. Serial dates back to 1971 and the dial is a beautiful example of "serif" feet first dial. The watch is original in every parts and runs well keeping good time. I had the chance to acquire this watch, thanks to a common friend, directly from the family of the first owner, a professional diver who has used this watch for almost 10 years of his career. When he retired he had the opportunity to buy it from his company and then he used it as his regular watch. The watch was originally given without the bracelet and, even if he bought a later bracelet once retired, I am selling it head only, as it was used at work. This story was told me by his daughter and I have no interest related to the sale in reporting it: I am not asking a premium for the watch since there would be obviously no reason. I am merely reporting it because I believe that one of the most interesting part of our passion for vintage watches are the stories told by watches (and not by dealers!). CASE: The case is even and thick, unpolished in my opinion. Serial and reference number are fully visible. Original 5513 caseback, correctly stamped 1970. Original twinlock crown. BEZEL INSERT: Original Rolex Mk3 insert in very good conditions with a beautiful navy blue shade.. DIAL: The dial is an original "feet first" with a strong patina even on all plots and all lettering is clearly visible and correct. Beautiful "serif" dial with original waffle lume with pumpkin patina. The hands are tritium and match perfectly to the dial. Tritium is original and was checked with UVA light. Dial shows some aging, but no scratches, missing part or chips around the rehault. BRACELET / STRAP: New handmade Italian leather strap with an original Rolex steel buckle. MOVEMENT: Correct 1520 caliber running well. The movement was serviced 6 years according to the previous owner. Asking 12000 Euro with a new handmade Italian leather strap and Rolex buckle, insured shipping included. I am not interested in any trade and I have no room for negotiation on the price. Payment method - I will accept Paypal and bank wire. Plenty of international references.
