1968 Rolex 5513 Meter’s First Kissing 40 Submariner W/Box & Paper

Description: The Meter’s first variant of 5513 Submariners refers to the depth rating in meter’s first rather than feet first. As the clientele of Rolex shifted from the European markets to the North American markets, priority was placed on standard units of measurement rather than metric. This example is very stunning with beautiful dial lume color and a very rare “kissing 40” mega fat font insert. Case has been previously polished but remains thick and even.

Dial: Matte dial, meter’s first.

Insert: Kissing 40

Case: Excellent Case

Bracelet: Rolex Oyster Bracelet
