ROLEX Submariner

Cal.1520 Rivet bracelet 7206/FF80 Clasp 65.3 Caseback 66.3
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!

The "Ref. 5513" is a fourth-generation Submariner, a long-selling model produced for about 27 years.

It was released around 1963 as a diffusion model that did not obtain chronometer certification, unlike the "Ref. 5512" which was a chronometer specification.

This model has undergone various minor changes and is extremely popular among vintage Rolex watches. This particular piece is an early production model with a glossy, so-called "mirror dial."

"Mirror Dial"

This is a glossy dial that existed on models manufactured until around 1967.

Among vintage models, its beautiful mirror-like shine is attractive, and it is a rare dial with overwhelmingly few pieces.

The recessed gold lettering and minute lines are also characteristics of the mirror dial.

It's a dial with an elegant beauty that is different from current Rolex watches!

The dial of this piece is consistent with the period and has minor scratches visible under a loupe, but the gloss is exceptionally well-preserved, maintaining an excellent condition for a mirror dial!!

Look at this!!
This is a dazzling mirror dial!
The gloss is top-notch!

The gold lettering shining against the jet black is
irresistibly cool!

The index lume also maintains a top-level condition!

The aging of the hands is also nice~!!
The color of the index and hand lume match perfectly!

The bezel insert is securely equipped with a long 5 insert!
This early insert really suits the mirror dial!

*The luminous dot is an aftermarket part, but it doesn't detract from the overall feel at all.

The bezel insert, which appears to have a khaki tint, is also good~!!
It perfectly matches the aged tritium!!

Although there are signs of use, it is in clean condition for a vintage model.

The middle case has not been excessively polished and remains robust!

The rivet bracelet is an essential point for pieces from this era!!
The buckle is stamped with 65.3.

The bracelet, which matches the era, is in relatively clean condition, and although there is some natural stretch, it remains sturdy.

Wrist shot!!
A top-class mirror dial with excellent gloss!!
It looks incredibly cool every time I see it!!
