5513 Submariner - Spider Dial

Hi all, just received a new to me 1985 5513. Loving it so far.

I haven't seen a spider dial in person before this arrived so I was curious how it would look in person. It's actually pretty subtle. And adds a really nice pop in the right light.

Sharing for reference for anyone thinking about getting one!

Congrats! Nice-looking Sub with great patina.

A spider dial isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it does have a certain appeal.
