An icon and timeless legend in watch history: Original Rolex Submariner Vintage Ref. 5513 from around 1966 – absolutely authentic and original, including new crystal, strap, crown, etc.
Attention! See photos for details. This luxury watch has just been completely overhauled by a master watchmaker for €1,300. The rotor was replaced with an original spare part – an old "disease" of this model – and a complete overhaul was performed, and a new original crystal was installed.
In contrast to many other offers, this magnificent piece of watch history is presented in technically perfect condition after a service!
Please note: the dial has been professionally restored and looks like new! It no longer glows, but that's not a defect for a watch that's almost 60 years old; it looks much better than one that's faded a bit in 60 years!
The 40mm stainless steel case of the Ref. 5513 impresses with its robust construction and classic elegance. The rotating bezel with a black inlay allows for precise dive timekeeping. The black dial with luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands ensures optimal legibility, even in difficult lighting conditions. A domed Plexiglas cover protects the dial and gives the watch its characteristic vintage charm.
Inside the Submariner Ref. 5513 is the Rolex Caliber 1520, an automatic movement known for its reliability and precision. This movement has a power reserve of approximately 48 hours and is characterized by its robust construction.
The watch is fitted with the original Rolex Oyster bracelet 39150 made of stainless steel, which, thanks to its three-row structure, offers both robustness and high wearing comfort. The folding clasp ensures a secure fit.
Central hour, minute, and second displays. The unidirectional rotating bezel allows for reliable dive timekeeping, while the screw-lock crown and Oyster case ensure water resistance to 200 meters. These features make the watch extremely versatile and reliable not only for divers but also for everyday use.
Watch starts and after a fresh revision also runs perfectly
