Can this be stickied? I feel like this a perfect representation of all things Rolex, especially this forum. In all honesty, someone should send this into Rolex, it epitomizes everything people love about the brand.

How wonderful to be gifted a 5513 from your parents and to have been able to enjoy it for so many years! Were I to get another Rolex, it would be a four digit Submariner. Wow, you “graduated” to a 16618? Gorgeous watch! Great to read your story, from another guy who simply loves the Submariner! Thank you again for posting and God bless you and yours, Michael

I’m glad you’re enjoying the photos (I’m humbled that you want them) and of course, you’re welcome to them! I’ll try to keep them coming! Here’s another: P.S. It’s common knowledge that watches are best photographed at 10:10 to best show off the dial. If you ever see my pics with the watch at 10:10, it truly is 10:10. I don’t set the hands for pics. Like the above picture (and the one preceding it,) I was on a walk with my dog, noticed the time, and quickly hunted down a backdrop, trying to get that perfect pic!

. This is a 1991 no date. I didn't buy it new but I've owned it for about a decade. |

Here’s another impromptu shot, while walking my dog, as it turned 10:10 once again!!! This time with the aged wood of a telephone pole for background. :)

Thank you for this thread. My 14060M is the first and only Submariner I've ever owned. I've owned my Submariner for around 5 years, but it got lost within my very large collection. Lately though, I have been really appreciating it, and spending more time with it than I ever have. It really is an amazing watch that has so many more layers that I originally thought.

Thanks for your service Michael. I love this thread. Such a great post. I love the Submariner. It’s the first Rolex I fell in love with but unfortunately it was not the first one I owned but I am happy I was able to eventually get one. Your story is so awesome.

Here’s a recent pic, shot with my iPhone at the laundromat while washing our dog’s beds. I noticed it was 10:10 (perfect watch pic time!) and I’d been wanting a shot with a stainless steel background!
