5513 Turns 40

In a on-going process to learn the intricacies of lighting and depth of field, I took these last night. I'm using a Lowel Ego diffused light source and a white reflector. Photographing these guys presents a long learning curve.

Those are fabulous pictures. And that watch looks great for being 40. I would say it wasn't a day older than 20!!! Haha. Great watch! Great pics!

Hi JimV!! You´ve got a beautiful example of the 5513!! A true classic!
I love this classic model.
I owned a 1966 vintage (my first Rolex, bought brand new then) till I had it taken away in a robbery.
I had replaced a few weeks ago with a 1978 vintage one.
Yours looks brand new!!
Nice pictures too! Thanks for sharing!
Best regards, Abel
