They drive their Fiat Panda until it breaks, but they invest in a beautiful watch. That\u2019s exactly the case here: I was able to acquire this fantastic Submariner directly from the original owner through a friend. The seller\u2014a friendly grocery shop owner\u2014spent good money back in the day to treat himself. That\u2019s the way to live!<\/p>\n<p>The case is in a worn but very good condition. It has been polished previously but retains full lugs, clean edges, and a nice matte finish on the top surfaces. There are signs of wear, but hey\u2014you have to handle vegetables with care, and he treated the watch the same way.<\/p>\n<p>The dial is the absolute highlight of this watch. It features a patina that is simply a joy on the wrist. Add a crisp print and a flawless dial surface and you have a vintage masterpiece. The hands also show rich patina\u2014the hour hand is slightly darker\u2014but overall, it is a watch that instantly catches the eye.<\/p>\n<p>The bezel remains sharp; unfortunately, the Inlay had been replaced at some point (though it has a tritium pearl), but the original T19 &#8220;Superdome&#8221; crystal was preserved!<\/p>\n<p>The bracelet has also been replaced during a service, but it is a fantastic 9315 folded Oyster bracelet with the correct 280 end links. The bracelet alone is worth 2k or more. It shows slight stretch, wears wonderfullyob the wrist and perfectly rounds off the watch&#8217;s vintage look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: Whether it\u2019s fennel or arugula\u2014with this watch, you can sell anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brand:\u00a0Rolex Model:\u00a0Submariner Reference:\u00a05513 Year:\u00a01972 Serialnumber:\u00a03305XXX Material:\u00a0Steel Bracelet:\u00a0Steel Diameter:\u00a040 Millimeter Condition:\u00a0very good Box&amp;Papers: no A fine 5513 with a stunning &#8220;Serif&#8221; dial with beautiful patina\u2014straight from the Italian sunshine.
