We have just received this Submariner "5513" with an all-tritium dial that has an amazing atmosphere, so I’d like to introduce it to you right away!
The model featured here is a late-model "gloss dial" version manufactured around 1983.
This dial is what is known as a "spider dial," a highly distinctive feature!!
This occurs due to aging seen on certain models from the 80s, where cracks form in the paint on the dial surface, creating a spiderweb-like pattern that appears depending on the angle of the light.
In this particular piece, the spider pattern has spread across the entire dial, giving it a unique atmosphere!!
While usually considered a sign of degradation, this unique expression is highly valued in the vintage market and has gained popularity among Rolex fans.
The deep, prominent cracks look fantastic, don't they?
Among spider dials, this one has a very glossy, vibrant surface that hasn't dulled, making it a truly cool dial!!
The charm of this piece, above all, is the tritium patina! The hands and indices have aged beautifully!!
This is what you call "patina"!! A gorgeous burn. The natural aging of the hands also adds character. The condition of the tritium luminous material is also excellent!!
The bezel insert is the original MK4. It’s a wonderful insert that still retains its black hue.
While the clean, glossy spider dial is attractive, the condition of the case and bracelet is also outstanding and comes highly recommended!!
Look at this!! These extra-thick middle lugs!! It is a superb, crisp specimen that maintains its original form!!
What do you think?? The powerful lug feet, both the hairline finish and the edge lines, are simply breathtaking!!
Those sharp, well-defined lugs are irresistible.
The extremely thick, horn-like lugs are truly captivating!!
The buckle clasp code is "I4."
The era-correct bracelet is also in this condition!! It feels crisp and shows almost no stretch!!
Finally, a wrist shot!!
Glossy patina spider!! This piece is absolutely stunning!!
A highly popular semi-vintage model: Submariner "Ref. 5513/1983."
This is a magnificent piece with a black lacquer dial featuring large cracks,
beautifully aged tritium lume, and a razor-sharp case!!
It has also been fully overhauled at our partner workshop.
For those of you looking for a prime example of a Ref. 5513 spider dial,
please do consider this one.
