I recently contacted a local (to me) Authorized Rolex dealer about a 5513.
Well, he only had one ready for sale, recently serviced, it was a gloss dial from 1988, not a big fan of the gloss dial so declined it.
10 minuets later I get a call back informing me that he has found a 1978 Matt dialed 5513 right at the back of the safe..
Well that was yesterday and today I went to veiw it.
Well, I just couldn't resist -
All original (As far as I can see) too which is great, it's also never been re-finished.
It has been sitting in the safe for 20 Years, so a service it probably due, he quickly put it on the timing machine and the accuracy was very good.
He usually won't sell a watch prior to a full service, but i have brought a few Rolex's off him before, and he was kind enough to let me take the watch today, he will call me when one of his on site Rolex technicians has a free slot to service it within in a week time slot. :)
Really happy with it. :)
(Now off to a family BBQ, I will post some more pictures later this evening.)
