Description:

‘Feet-First’ 5513 Submariners mark an important transition in tool watch history, a tipping point as North American sales of Rolex watches exceeded European counterparts.

A near constant stream of design improvements makes for a chaotic lineage, a perfect puzzle of details for obsessive and compulsive enthusiasts to document. This batch of ‘completed’ Submariners (feet-first, hash marked bezel, crown guards, large lume on matte dials) truly are the first of what can be considered the modern blueprint to what’s sold today.

Case is excellent with original bevels still visible.  Dial is clean and lume has a nice classic yellow hue.

Case: Previously polished

Insert: Black MK3

Dial: Feet-First, matte black,

Bracelet: Tight, folded Oyster link bracelet
