Vintage Rolex Submariner Ref 5513 Meters First Dial
Description
Why We Love This Watch This vintage Rolex Submariner ref. 5513 (1967) features the highly sought-after “meters first” matte dial, a detail prized by collectors for its early production placement and historic charm. The dial has aged gracefully with rich patina, while the faded “Long 5” bezel insert adds a rugged, vintage character. Housed in a 40mm steel case with a correct non-Triplock crown and matching C&I rivet Oyster bracelet dated 1977, this 5513 represents a classic era of Rolex dive watch design—tool-born, time-tested, and endlessly collectible.
