My 2nd purchase of 2010

After my 1675 I purchased for 2010, the very next day I decided to make another purchase. This time its a 5513 Maxi dial Submariner. Its my 1st ever Rolex Submariner (with the exception of my Tudor Snowflake, which I purchased 3 months ago) I love it alot, and will probably not be my last Rolex Submariner. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure

Jon, you will love that watch. I bought mine new back in 1978 and wore it for over 30 years.

Hi Richard, indeed the 5513 is one of my favorite by far. If you are looking to sell yours. I will be very much interested to be the 2nd owner of that fabulous piece !!

Don't get me started! I've had my eyes set on a few different potential pieces already!! However, I know most of the Vintage dealers I talk to will have new stuff by next week or the week after depending if they will do some maintenance service on some of their new stocks....

this never end does it...

ok - just when i think i am learning (and remembering a thing or two) i would have expected the depth rating for 5513 to be above the SUBMARINER - and only reversed if there were also surrounds on the dial? aarrrrgh. :-) so maybe what i need is a definition of the Maxi Dial on this and approx date range for this dial.
