Submariner Dial question
This is quite a forum that I have just discovered--the info is amazing.
I have been reading, reading, reading...... That said, I do have a question....or two, that I hope you can help me with. I purchased my Submariner in 1964/65 in Trinidad as I was doing a lot of diving at the time and have owned her ever since. She was not worn much in the late 60s/70s/80s. I had her refurbished in 1987; sent off to NY as I recall. She was worn for a few years and then back to drawer and worn on/off but not much for the last 15 years. edited So your very helpful site has got me figuring out which model she is, etc. I thought for sure she was a Ref. 5512 since she has the "4 lines" for the Chronometer on the dial. But I took her to watch guy today and she is a Ref. 5513. It is clearly stamped inside the back and on the edge. The Rolex guy also confirmed that it's a Caliber # 1520. So why does she have the "4 lines" on the dial since a 5513 is not a Chronometer, right?? Additionally, it's a "meters" 1st dial, not "ft" 1st--I haven't seen any photos with a dial with the meters first. Additionally, it says "Swiss" at the bottom, but not "Swiss < 25". So I am curious as to these differences and thought I would ask the experts. I will really appreciate your clearing up the mystery for me. many thanks!!!! |
