1966 Rolex Submariner 5513 Meters First Tropical Dial

Case: The case is excellent showing sharp prominent bevels and only very light wear from use. The bezel insert has faded to a silvery blue grey hue showing some light wear from use.

Dial: The meters first dial is very good and has aged to a warm and even milk chocolate hue. There is one spot of wear to the right of the 9 o'clock marker. It looks like a deflated air bubble at the tip of the 9 o'clock marker. On the back part of the dial there is a cutout for the shock absorber for the balance that could have led to some separation of paint. Our guess is as good as yours. The lume has aged to a warm sandy hue and the hands match perfectly.

Bracelet: The 12 link Swiss rivet bracelet is excellent showing light stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a 1969 date code.

Accessories: None.
