Calling All Sub 5513s, 1962-1990.
Let's see those 5513s through the decades please. Here's my L-series tail-ender from about 1989.

Wow! That, sir, is a beauty of a 5513! Damn nice, Adam.

Sadly, I can't contribute a photo to the thread. I sold my only 5513 many years ago when I was a foolish child.

Thanks Dave, yes it was fresh back from the Rolex spa that day, with new dial, hands & crown, but unpolished and otherwise unmolested, despite RSC's best efforts.

Beautiful. I didn't realise the 5513 ever came with a 369.

Some really excellent shots guys, nice to be able to pick out the detail variation between years. That last model run looks almost the same as my 14060 so I can now see the evolution of this iconic Submariner. Just reinforces my choice of model is the right one for me.
Cheers,

No such thing as a bad Submariner .....
.... although my daily driver 1.6 gilt 5513 pushes the boundaries.







And for any eagle eyes out there ...... that's not really a Rolex pearl you see .... it's a surface mounted LED bulb with the backing plate shaved.
My personal protest at the outrageous cost of (often questionable) vintage Rolex pearls
