Vintage Watch Condition Examination:
This Submariner is in honest, vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The case is strong and the bevels on the lugs are still visible and the pointed crown guards are still sharp; it appears to be unpolished. The watch has retained it's correct "non-triplock" crown. The bezel ring has remained sharp and the bezel insert has aged with an attractive worn look. The dial is has developed patina throughout and has lost most of its gloss which is not uncommon. The lume on the dial has developed patina and darkened, some plots show signs of degradation. The hands have developed patina and the lume in the hands have darkened.
Description: Vintage Rolex Submariner 5513
Pre-owned Rolex Submariner ref 5513 (Circa 1963) introduced around 1962 and was in production until 1989. It was one of the longest continually produced references from the brand. Rolex initially used glossy dials in this model and swapped to matte around 1966, this example is an early glossy dial that has taken on a beautiful and interesting patina where the dial is now textured.
This 5513 is one of the earliest examples with "pointed crown guards" giving the case a different look, especially to someone with a keen eye for vintage Rolex. When looking at the overall watch its in super honest condition and has clearly been worn and loved since 1963. We love how the dial and bezel have aged giving it a quintessential vintage vibe. If you have been in the market for an early 5513 with character, this is worth looking at!

Fantastic transaction and watch even better than described / pictures. Tanya was great to deal with, easy communication, give her a raise!
Watch shows better then in pictures . Second watch purchased from Bobs since October. Very happy with both experiences . I mistakenly overpaid on the price.of my last purchase. Along with the watch was a check for the overpayment. I feel Bobs as honest and trustworthy. Thanks
Excellent service . Fantastic communication. I couldn’t of asked for more .
The watch was delivered very quickly and was exactly as advertised. They even provided a few vintage pamphlets from the period. All my questions were answered promptly. Overall great experience. I will definitely buy my next Rolex from Bob’s.
The condition of this vintage Rolex 5513 is nicer than I anticipated based on the age. Your staff was very helpful and went out of their way to help make sure I had enough links in the band.
