Variety is the spice of life... even for a Submariner collector!

Fifteen "simple" Submariner 5513s spanning nearly twenty years... from 1964 to 1983 (case numbers 989k to 7.37m). The watches are in chronological order from left to right, top to bottom...

So Mike, what is your favorite Rolex model?

That is an amazing collection, beautifully presented. I love seeing someone so passionate about collecting and enjoying something of such quality.

From what I've seen mike has all of his pre 40's rolexes in one category, all of his Rolex chronos in another, all of his mil subs and comes dials in another, regular subs in another, mid size rolexes in another. If you have time quick search the thread with his whole collection. I would say he has close to 500 rolexes, and that's not an exaggeration.
