If you were to ask ten people at random to draw you their idea of what a watch looks like, there is a significant chance that they would draw or describe something that looks like a Rolex Submariner. It’s the dive watch of reference, and good\/bad\/indifferent there is no escaping it. Throughout its 70-year production, there have been countless small changes made to the model, particularly in the first decade or so, with the 5513 representing a true landmark in the history of the model.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ref. 5513 mirrored the slightly earlier Ref. 5512 in virtually every way, minus the chronometer certified calibre within, and therefore only 2 lines of text on the bottom half of the dial, rather than the 4 that chronometer certified watches bear until this day. The 5513 enjoyed a long twenty-seven-year production run, and like many Rolex models, there was a large number of variations to the dials, bezel inserts, bracelets, etc., which results in a very fun and interesting collecting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe 5513 that we have here is known within the collecting community as a 'Non-Serif' 5513. Unlike the 'Serif'-dial variants from the same era named so for their somewhat irregular, well, serifs on the 3, 6, and 9 markers, the 'Non-Serif' simply lacks the serifs. The dial itself remains in fantastic overall condition, with a clean matte surface and gently patinated Tritium plots, and the handset and pip within the 'fat font' bezel match the dial wonderfully. The case has been very lightly polished in the past and retains symmetrical proportions and shows normal signs of wear. It comes fitted to a correct, slightly later Oyster bracelet with a fliplock clasp to round out the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-type=\"description\" class=\"product-info__block-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many of us, this is what vintage is all about: subtle details, honest condition that tells a story, and uniqueness in wear\/patina.
