Vintage Rolex Submariner No Date 5513 Cal.1520 Ca.IV.68


This year is the 4th year i sunk in horologie hobby, this year i would make become a momentum year in my horologie hobby, so..to celebrate this year i've been already to choose VINTAGE ROLEX SUBMARINER 5513 Cal.1520 no date, 26 jewels unadjusted OYSTER PERPETUAL, Circa 4th quartal in 1968 edition, with acrylic domed plastic crystal as a Landmark in my horologie collection, all parts truly genuine but without oyster bracelet, head only.

So simple between sporty and military look with mercy hands, triple lock features, nice looking..

Simple is the best, simple is noble...black and white/steel color only

The reference 5513 was introduced in 1962, and replaced the reference 5508. The 5513 was produced from 1962 through June or so of 1990, which must be one of the longest continually produced references in Rolex history. The reference 5513 used calibers 1520 and 1530. Curiously, the caliber 1530 was used in both the 5513 and 5512 calibers for a time. The 5512 carried the C.O.S.C. certification while the 5513 using the same caliber did not have the chronometer certification. Today, the 5513 is one of the most collectable Submariners, and while it is still accessably priced, market prices have almost doubled from 2003 to 2005.
