Rolex
Submariner
Reference 5513
JOE won a pair of CONVEX sunglasses in the giveaway held at the recent "CTG Vol.7".
The watch that Joe was wearing that day was the Submariner Ref. 5513, a long-selling model with a 30-year production period that he had previously purchased. During its production period, various minor changes were made, and it is also characterized by a wide variety of dials. There are two types: "borderless" with no border on the luminous index, and "bordered" with a border on the luminous index. In addition to the clean design without a date, the plastic crystal creates a classic atmosphere, making it a popular model in high demand.
Among them, the one that JOE chose is a later model with a "rim" and a great atmosphere with burnt tritium luminous! *Appraiser: It was also featured on Kaneko's watch blog.

Next, we would like to introduce Aki, who won a leather strap from Jean Recep Tauber, a French luxury leather goods manufacturer.
Aki-san's first Rolex was replaced with the "Datejust II". The combination of the white dial with the fluted bezel and the matte brown alligator strap is chic and elegant, and it's really beautiful!!
Aki's Datejust II has a case diameter that has been increased from the previous 36mm to 41mm, but there have been no fundamental changes to the design, and it is a model that continues the tradition.

Rolex
Submariner
Reference 1680
Finally, we would like to introduce DT-san, who came to our store after winning a Warren Fauss body bag.
When he visited the store, he told us that he was currently looking for a black-faced Daytona Ref. 6263 or Ref. 6265. DT, a vintage Rolex enthusiast, was wearing a model he previously purchased that was popular among connoisseurs, commonly known as the "white sub" Ref. 1680. The first Submariner Date Ref. 1680 was manufactured from 1968 to 1980, but the "white sub" was introduced around 1975 and was a short-lived model that was only manufactured for a few years.
DT's "White Sub" is the final model year. The "MK2 dial" has the "SUBMARINER" markings larger than the waterproofing markings, and the tritium on the indexes and hands is evenly and deeply burned, making this a wonderful watch. The bezel and bracelet are also in perfect condition, and the lugs are crisp and crisp, making it a watch that any collector would want.
