First step into vintage

[accau]

I have been eyeing the vintage market for many years but never got myself to make the move with the lack of knowledge, not till last year out of coincident i go to know a vintage watch enthusiast who is willing to share his knowledge and tech me the world of vintage, I am grateful for all the knowledge that has been pass onto me and all this inspiring/knowledgeable information shared on this forum by other members.

My first step into vintage and i know this is just the beginning

What a wonderful point of entry into vintage Rolex. 5513/5512 is a gift that keeps on giving.

Congratulations buddy!

Edit: The 3rd photo is so awesome; looks like a MB&F bubble dome.

5513 is a great entry into the vintage Rolex world. Looks like you got a very nice honest example. Well done.

The watch in your example has clearly been polished and refinished. The OP’s Watch is unpolished.

That 5513 is a LAWW reptilian job. OP watch is untouched and much thicker lugs
