Eye Candy

Got my 5513 out of hibernation yesterday and I just took some pics.
I forget how great looking this watch is sometimes.

Beautiful dial & hands Mark - love the 'creamy' colour.
A very fine watch indeed
PS - It's not quite a 'maxi' dial Swatty but I can see where your coming from
PPS - I never knew you had such a fine 5513 Mark - must pay more attention! In fact, thinking about it - you have a wonderful collection of very desirable, vintage Rolexes

Amazing meters first my friend. Truly a beautiful example that is right "at home" in that wonderful collection of yours.

Thanks guys
I appreciate your kind words .
My 1680 Red is at RSC at present, so I'm looking forward to getting some Date/Non-Date pics as soon as it returns, but I think that will be another 4 weeks plus yet

I also loved the 'domed' crystal of the vintage models...
