I was curious if anyone still wears a Rolex 5513 on a daily basis? Pics please.

applebook · 17 April 2008, 01:57 PM

Many people do. I use to. The 5513 is a great daily watch.

Lol-x · 17 April 2008, 02:32 PM

I wear it in spasms like 2 weeks on 3 months off:
There is no reason why one can't wear this watch every day, day in day out.

Gaijin · 17 April 2008, 03:59 PM

My Buddy in Hawaii has a really old 5513. He wears it everyday! A gift passed down from his Dad.

Wow that dial is black! Looks great. What year was that one produced? Do you do any restoration or is that original condition?

Lol-x · 17 April 2008, 04:20 PM

My watch is a 9million serial so it was produced in the late 1980's.
The watch is in it's original condition, so I believe, save for regulation servicing.
I like the way the clouds reflect in the crystal in the second photo, kind of makes you appreciate all that heavenly glory Rolex put into this watch

Mmmmmmm.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 April 2008, 05:07 PM

That's a stunning 5513, Steve!

Thanks for sharing!

Simplicity, elegance, strength and beauty! Wow. Excellent pics, thank you.

I thought the switch to white gold hour markers was in 1985??

mike · 17 April 2008, 06:35 PM

Indeed a 5513 can be an excellent daily wear.

I believe the white gold surround hour markers appeared in or around 1986, but there were still matt dials in stock and they were used by Rolex and dealers at times thereafter.

My 5513 came from Japan, and I am unable to say precisely what originally came out of the factory (as to the dial). However, Rolex has given the

to the watch and it does conform to the 5513 in all respects.

It maybe that the matt dial was retro fitted, I just don't know, but it is a 5513 .

marshallr47 · 17 April 2008, 06:58 PM

Steve, with a great looking watch like that, I'd be wearing it all the time. Great pics.

Scarface · 17 April 2008, 10:17 PM

Great watch, what can I say...

Chappy · 17 April 2008, 10:31 PM

nice looking watch

Mike - with all your watches, what gets the most wrist time? Just curious.

As for an old daily wear watch, I have no 5513, but I have been wearing my GMT 1675 for the past week and have been enjoying the heck out of it.

CoopJr · 17 April 2008, 10:55 PM

It guess these babies are worth some bucks?

clbcpa · 17 April 2008, 11:26 PM

I wear mine twice a week. Usually the weekends.

Trurolexer · 18 April 2008, 12:02 AM

GREAT 5513s Gentlemen!!!

Bobareno · 18 April 2008, 12:55 AM

Nice photos, thanks.

Lol-x · 18 April 2008, 05:05 PM

The 5513's are picking up in price. They can vary depending on whether they have the gloss dial (with white gold surrounds) or the matt dial. I would expect to pay between $4,500 and $7500 depending upon condition, box and papers.

Some really nice looking photos guys thanks

I usually wear either a 16750 or a 1680 if vintage, a GMT IIc if modern.

juneja · 18 April 2008, 07:02 PM

I have two 5513 at the moment, I prefer to wear the beaten up Glossy Gilt 5513 as a daily beater. I don't feel I need any other watch at this time.

The other (matt dial meters first) gets no wrist time at all lately,and I'll probably flip it at some point this year, but I certainly wouldn't let it go for anywhere near $4500, even without box and papers. I think the prices quoted above are on the low side right now.

ROLEX MAN · 18 April 2008, 08:43 PM

love the looks

Courmayeur1 · 18 April 2008, 09:32 PM

Beautiful example of the 5513.

jac67 · 18 April 2008, 09:54 PM

I really like the 5513. Very easy on the eyes.
