5513 is my favorite submariner.
Well, actually I would love to own the 6538-big crown but 5513 is the great piece to start my rolex vintage engine.
What I love on this 5513 are....it is the submariner sport model, 2 hands, no date and cyclop, tritium hands and markers.
I'm very happy with my 5513.
Happy hunting.
Cheers

Thinking about getting a Submariner!
Hi, Years after years I've been thinking about getting a Rolex (in the last 20 yeasr at least). I've long looked after the Sub date, then knew that I don't like the Rolex date loupe. I thought about the Daytona then, but it was in the same time too expens...
How did you know that?
Hi, I'm still at work, it's warm enough for the beach but I can't go, and there are too many people still on holiday to be efficient, too many subjects I can't work on! Terrible life because soon I'll be back at home and then work begins again! Have a goo...
You wouldn't even think of a Rolex unless you're ready to pop. :-)
A watch that can take almost anything you can throw at it and smile back at you after you're donw. You have a nice weekend too. Not a 5513....but something close....
WOW Jerome - First a Panerai now a Rolex.
Hi Jerome The site is adversely affecting your pocket book. Go for it. 5513 would be perfect for a classy guy like you. HAGWE Bill PS. You will have to start grooming a hairy arm to wear a Rolex. LOL
I already have the hairy arm Bill
Hi Bill, The 5513 is nice but I see it as a second watch for later. I'm more tempted by a 14060M right away. Am I dumb? Cheers Dje This message has been edited by Dje on 2008-08-23 09:54:16
There is no wrong way in fact
you seem to have thought about the question already and I would say there is no bad choice. Plus, if you change your mind you can re-sell your Submariner quickly without losing money (welcome to the Rolex world !). Concerning the vintage Submariner, don't...
You're the kind of people that make me doubt Bart, oups Jeff!
Hi, I admit the 5513 would be very nice. Obviously it is a (Dr) strong watch! Like my 94010 was. Still I'm tempted by the easyness of doing with a 14060. As you said there's no bad choice and it's never too late to sell and buy another. What do you think ...
It sounds like a good starting point
I have started my Rolex journey with a 16610 and only came to the vintage little by little. Cheers Jeff
as a 14060M owner
i says go for it i love these 2 watches for different reasons. whats good about the 14060M? - great looks. simple and uncluttered. no Rolexrolexrolex on the rehaut for the older ones. No extra cosc text to clutter stuff up. no date and date bubble thingie...
Thanks Raph, nice watches!
Hi, The 5513 is very glamorous but indeed the 14060M should do it better for me, as a tool watch. Yesterday I saw my brother in law who has a 14060 with tritium dial. He got it serviced three years ago and he now has very nice white Luminova hands on his ...
I'm not a fan...
....of the RolexRolexRolex ad nauseam either... ...so, would you consider an M-series Explorer II?? I know it's got the cyclops (date loupe) on it, but it is minus the RolexRolexRolex and would come with the 3186 movement with a great GMT functionality. I...
you might also consider the seadweller (old style)
if you like the date but not the cyclops.
