This 5513 is in overall great attractive, vintage condition. The 40mm stainless steel case is strong with scratches and wear. The Inner case back is stamped "5513" "II.67". Serial and reference numbers are visible. The bezel ring has remained sharp. The bezel insert is in great condition with some wear and scratches; it has aged to an attractive grey/blue color throughout. The bezel is a slightly later, 1970s replacement. The watch has retained its correct non-triplock crown. The dial is in overall honest condition with some wear and patina. The lume plots on the dial have aged to a pale yellow and most of the plots have developed some darker patina. The hands are also slightly later 1970s replacements and have developed patina and aged to a stronger yellow color. The USA Jubilee bracelet is a slightly later 1970s replacement and is in good condition with some stretch between the links, which is not uncommon. This Jubilee bracelet is stainless steel American Oval with 21 links and 55 end links. The crystal has light wear.
Pre-owned Rolex Submariner 5513 (1967) introduced around 1962 and it was in production until 1989. It was one of the longest continually produced references from the brand. Rolex initially used glossy dials in this model and swapped to matte around 1966, like this example. When Rolex went to the matte dial they also put the depth rating as "200m = 660ft" and these are known as "meters first" in the collecting community. Eventually Rolex would swap the depth rating to feet first around the early 1970s and have continued this trend to the modern offerings. One theory on this change is that Rolex wanted to boost sales in the United States, but to our knowledge Rolex has not made any definitive statements on this shift.
This example has a cool vintage vibe with the nicely aged bezel and jubilee bracelet. It's amazing how a bracelet can change the look and feel of a watch; we love it!
Fantastic transaction and watch even better than described / pictures. Tanya was great to deal with, easy communication, give her a raise!
Watch shows better then in pictures . Second watch purchased from Bobs since October. Very happy with both experiences . I mistakenly overpaid on the price.of my last purchase. Along with the watch was a check for the overpayment. I feel Bobs as honest and trustworthy. Thanks
Excellent service . Fantastic communication. I couldn’t of asked for more .
The watch was delivered very quickly and was exactly as advertised. They even provided a few vintage pamphlets from the period. All my questions were answered promptly. Overall great experience. I will definitely buy my next Rolex from Bob’s.
The condition of this vintage Rolex 5513 is nicer than I anticipated based on the age. Your staff was very helpful and went out of their way to help make sure I had enough links in the band.
