Rolex
For auction is a 1967 Rolex Submariner 5513 Meters First Matte dial Meters First 40mm caliber 1520 faded bezel. The Good: 1. This is an interesting and somewhat rare Sub: the very first of the matte dial meters first 5513's are the first pad printed dials. And the very very first of this batch used unusually thin application of tritium, most of which stayed very white in color. 2. Great looking case that had its bevels recut and polished at some point which looks excellent and still shows a lot of meat on the metal. 3. Has a great looking and very complementary faded bezel that was born with the watch. 4. Working and functioning well with amplitude +231 and rate of +20. The Bad: 1. Does not have its bracelet or box and papers.
