Rolex Tropical Dial Submariner Reference 5513 Full Set

I’m excited to be able to offer this Rolex Submariner Reference 5513 with a beautiful matte tropical dial which is in incredible condition. The watch came from the original owner who was an American serving in Vietnam who purchased it on February 18, 1970 for $135. The 1.9M serial number dates this watch to circa 1969. The case has been lightly polished, but in very strong shape.

To learn more about the Rolex Submariner, dive into my ‘Reference Points: Understanding The Rolex Submariner’ video and corresponding article with Stephen Pulvirent.

The watch comes “full set” with box and papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar.

PRICE: $49,000 (Item SBUXYT3966)
