Rolex Submariner 5513 Meters First Dial

The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic watches of all time. This reference 5513 features a 1.98M serial number dating to circa 1969. This example features a “meters first” matte dial with very attractive tritium lume. The hands have been relumed. It has been polished. It is paired on a rubber strap (one side is Everest and the other is Rubber B). The bezel insert is later.
