Some time ago I have decided that I should reduce the size of my collection. Not because I would have lost the passion of watches on the contrary but for limiting myself to the best I could find for each reference…

Those who have seen this Sub 5513 usually never forgot it… 

Its gilt patina is simply amazing, the lacquered dial is like a flawless mirror…




The riveted bracelet 7206 has a lot of charm even if it is said to be fragile…




The original bevels are not only sharp but also quite large as they were done at that time…




The super dome glass gives an incredible charm too…




I have this one since many years and I am still in love as in the first day smile.
I guess you understand why wink

Those of your watches that I had the pleasure to see gave proof of that. The state and the charm of this Submariner are obvious to the somewhat uninitiated like me too. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us! Best, Martin
