5513 Gilt Underline
So attending a GTG is one great fun
But there's an aftereffect… Many sleepless night thinking about one piece I saw and fell in love with at my very first sight
As some of you probably know, I always wanted a nice chapter ring 5512
But the hunt is a real challenge.. To find one in the condition I want, or at the price I'm willing to pay is extremely difficult
And I guess, that's the fun with Vintage Rolex, you can't always get what you're exactly looking for
I guess luck, comes in when you least expected it
A friend of mine came with a very beautiful 5513 Gilt - Underline dial with PCG case
It was a love at first sight
And happen that he needs to let it go to fund his grail
So here it is,
Not a chapter ring 5512,
But a very special 5513 Gilt with underline
The watch is very simple but has a strong presence
The gilt hands on top of the black glossy dial makes it stands out
And the underline gives a nice detail to the watch
So the watch comes on a correct 7206 bracelet with 80 end link
So the watch comes on a correct 7206 bracelet with 80 end link
And as the cherry on top of the cake, the it comes with a long 5 insert
So here's a mandatory wrist shot
Have a wonderful weekend Everyone

Nice catch Sam!
Patience and luck worked well for you, plus fate. :) This vintage beauty is fated to be yours! Wear it in the best of health and joy Cheers Robin
Thank you for your kind words Robin!
I hope everything is well with you there And still hoping to be able to meet up with you one day Best, Sam
Wow!
That dial has some presence....truly beautiful. I bet in the real it is astonishing. Congrats
Touché !.. Again an error- didn't look carefully enough .. ;))
.. was erroneously under the impression that PCG & CR would go hand-in-hand; but it's the other way round: if CR, then PCG ? (isn't it ?).. Just shows, still much more I've got to learn - 2 errors in 3 hrs - brrrr. Soo much homework, in the Rolex Vintage ...
You need stronger pills. :))) Yes, when CR, necessarily PCG.
While the contrary is not always true. Best, Nicolas
Absolutely gorgeous! Congrats!
If i could find one like this, i would also be in heaven ;-) Enjoy it! Best David
Congratulations on the new gilt 5513
You made a great choice of a special watch. Best Bill
Thanks Bill..
I did learn a lot from your posts on the evolution of gilt dial subs, and the submariner inserts.. Helped me a lot on purchasing this piece So I have to thank you for your great educational post Best, Sam
You have to admit that seeing the watch in the flesh is essential
At the high end of the segment you really need to see the watch first hand. I am glad my posts were of some help. I hope one day our pates will cross and we share the passion in person. Best Bill
Absolutely Stunning
I was fortunate to see Bill's gilt 5513 at a GTG a few months ago, and it got me hooked. Those gilt 5513s are just awesome. I love the gilt hand and the great coloring of the plots - almost an off green/yellow. They just look so cool. You got a great exam...
Gorgeous catch Sam! Congrats!! It is very true that...
... sometimes our collection will take a path that was not exactly in our plans! But what a delicious direction it takes, like in this case! Enjoy your new watch in good health! Very cordially, Abel.
That is true Abel...
But this way, I'm very happy! Thanks for your kind words my friend Sam
