1989 Rolex Submariner Reference 5513 With Box

Why This Watch Matters It’s hard to resist a black, glossy dial like the one on this transitional 5513. We dare you to look away. The Full Story The reference 5513 is a much sought after reference. This particular model was made in 1989 and is in exemplary condition, with its slick, black, glossy dial and well-preserved case. This later version is desirable because it is the transitional model between the 5512 and the 14060. The 5513 you see here has the double line, feet-first dial, and white-gold-surrounded indexes characteristic of the 14060, but the plexiglass crystal used in the earlier 5513s. This transitional model gives you the best of both worlds, with a vintage feel with a modern look.

The slick black dial remains glossy and pristine and the tritium lume plots are well preserved. The plexiglass crystal has some light scratches but this is to be expected with age. The bracelet is period correct and has maintained its shape. Show more
