Caught a 5513 Maxi

I finally got myself a Rolex Submariner 5513 with mk1 maxi dial. Serial number is in the 5.47m range which is consistent with a mk1 dial. The watch appears to be unmolested. Dial is in great condition with no visible flaws. Hands are also matching in patina and the bezel is nicely faded. Case is still thick and it comes with the original oyster bracelet. Another great addition to my collection.

Very nice! Via reputable dealer or your own digging? If latter (which is implied by “catch”) what resources did you use to source (c24?)?

I believe he has multiple dealer friends who give him a ring when something cool comes in. He always has interesting posts.

Check out his history, his tropical PCG 1675 is one of my favorites I’ve seen posted here

Yes quite fortunate that i have dealer friends who almost always give the first crack on a vintage watch that comes their way.
