I've been looking for one of these for a while. Saw this one and pulled the trigger. My pics just cannot do this watch justice. Presented is a 5513 ser no 6 mil. circa 1979. The watch was recently serviced by RSC Beverly Hills where it received a new domed crystal as part of service. New tube and crown. It has the orginal dial with NOS hands that match the dial perfectly. The watch was previously owned by a collector who had the hands installed prior to service by Rolex.

It is very comfortable!! |

My goodness Hannes! I wish I could take a photo half as good as yours!! Just beautiful!! Your pictures are GREAT! some of the best! All they need is a bit of levels and white balance correction in Photoshop. Here is a before and after version of your photo.   |

Chip that's it!! You captured what the dial really looks like! This thing looks like it came from an AD. I can't tell you how great this is!! It's been 24 hrs. since I set it,so far 0+/-!!! |

Fantastic find Mike! , Bonus to find one with a recent service - no worries over incorrect inner parts and the like. Looks really clean and it also has the 'early' style 93150 bracelet. I agree with mamas - I'd take an older 5513 over a new gloss dial one in a heartbeat. Well done - Neil. |
