Rolex Submariner Meters First Ref 5513 Unpolished

The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic watches of all time. This reference 5513 features a 1.58M serial number dating to circa 1967. It is paired with a C&I stretch rivet bracelet dating to 1966. This example features a “meters first” matte dial with very attractive lume. The case appears to be unpolished. It features the original long 5 insert.
