1966 Rolex Submariner 5513 Gilt Dial

Description

This is a fantastic watch for the serious vintage-lover. With its heavy patina dial and fat font bezel insert it is certainly more than a used Sub for the avarage used Rolex buyer. It's a reminiscence to a time when Rolex sport watches were a bought as a sturdy tools more than as fashion items. Also the case certainly been polished before but it has still good life in it and it shows no major signs of corrosion.

The cal. 1520 movement is running pretty strong at the moment but the watch has not been serviced. An additional service could be provided at cost.
