Other: If you've been looking for a nice original 5513 Submariner that hasn't been through a million dealers and collectors, this is the watch! We acquired this watch back in 2020 with ties to the original owner and it is now fresh to market. The original matte black "Pre-Comex" dial is flawless underneath the scratched original Rolex T19 Superdome crystal. We love the honest "as found" look of the watch and opted to leave the crystal alone with its battle scars. It is coolest as-is in our opinion, but we can professionally polish the acrylic crystal upon request. The original Tritium lume really explodes in the sun as you can see. The original black bezel insert remains vibrant with its matching Tritium pearl in tact. This is a great wearable example of an iconic Submariner for the money!
