This classic Rolex Submariner 5513 dates back to 1977 and has an absolutely perfect dial.
The 5513 is known for its clean and minimalist look without a date display. This contributes to the timeless design of the watch. The term "Maxi Dial" refers to the larger hour indices on the dial, which gives the watch a great vintage charm. For those who want to know exactly: This is a Mark1 Maxi Dial, i.e. the first version that had the word "SUBMARINER" under the depth rate. All later versions show "SUBMARINER" above the depth rate.
The 40 mm Oyster case with its rotating diving bezel also contributes to the classic and characteristic look of the Submariner. The original stainless steel Oyster bracelet with diver's extension completes the offer. Both the case and the bracelet have clear, sharp edges, indicating that they have retained their original shape. The few natural signs of wear on the case and bracelet convey an authentic character and respectful care by the previous owner.
All in all, a classic and reliable vintage wristwatch that will be a pleasure to wear every day.
