Why We Love This Watch
This vintage 1966 Rolex Submariner ref. 5513 is a textbook example of why gilt-era Subs are so coveted. The bezel is still a deep, even black, while the glossy dial shows that desirable, naturally formed cracking collectors love. Its wear is honest and the overall profile remains pure 5513. Pieces of this kind don’t surface often, and when they do, they tend to stay tightly held in serious collections.
$15,944.36 Rolex Submariner 5513 Circa 1966 183229 Vintage Mens No Box or Papers Stainless Steel Acrylic 40MM Aluminum Timing Solid 1410XXX Black w/ Tritium hour markers, Tritium hands & Tritium lume 1520 Automatic Bidirectional No Date Stainless Steel Oyster Fliplock

This 5513 is in overall great, honest vintage condition. The case is in good condition with scratches, nicks, and wear throughout; the bevels are still visible. The back of the case is stamped "5513" and "I.66.” Serial and reference numbers are clearly visible. The bezel ring has remained sharp. The "Long 5" bezel insert is in overall great condition with some scratches and wear. The lume pip has wear and the outer part has broken off. The crown is a later "trip-lock" replacement. The dial has developed a spider webbing effect mainly around its periphery, giving it a unique look; this can be hard to notice. The edge of the dial shows some wear and one spot to note is the edge at 12 has chipping. The lume on the dial has developed patina and aged to a lovely buttery yellow color. The hands have developed patina and the lume in the hands has aged to a similar color as the lume on the dial. This has a 93150 bracelet with no. 580 end links, divers extension and 12 links. The oyster bracelet is in great condition with light wear; it has 12 links. The clasp is stamped “CP 12” indicating it's a later replacement post 2011. 

Rolex introduced ref. 5513 around 1962 and it 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 the matte style after 1966. The example we have here is circa 1966 and would be part of the last run of glossy dials. 

This example is in beautiful, honest condition, with the dial exhibiting a distinctive "spidering," lume patina that gives the watch an instantly recognizable character. We love how the "Long 5" bezel has stayed jet black and how the buttery yellow lume contrasts so nicely with all the black elements of the watch. This watch comes directly from the family of the original owner who wore and cherished the watch for many years.

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

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.
