1971 Rolex Submariner Serif Dial Ref. 5513
A great example of a great reference. This 5513 from 1971 is in overall very nice condition and has a attractive look. The case is in great shape and retains straight and even lugs. The early Serif dial is flawless and has perfect lumes which have aged to a yellowish hue. Finally the bezel insert has a fat font and has aged to a gun metal grey contrasting nicely with the lumes. A 5513 needs to be in every collection.
