Rolex

from a really good friend, and wanted to share part of my excitement with the community. This is my first, and a long awaited entry into the world of gilt dial submariners. I think it is hard to do them gilt dials justice basis my crappy iPhone pics, but ...  

......but one that is very exciting. Big congratulations to you.

Appreciate the kind words truly is exciting !

Isn't that what they call a tropical dial?

.....is a description that is very loose.....it tends to mean when a dial has started to age to teh point where it has become somewhat brown and unusual. I will post a picture of a Sea-Dweller that I have that has now started to turn tropical. Best Joe

After some research, there is some gold used on the dial, and radium is prefered for the lume (lume shot please).

With a general range of 1964-1966/7 is the date special (dob) or are you just plunging into the world of gilts with both feet. Enjoy Bill

No specific meaning on the vintage (year) but wanted a gilt dial Rolex in the collection. This watch is deepening my appreciation of old world Rolex for sure.

Indeed, you are entering a very dangerous world, with no less dangerous creatures, such as this very nice 5513 Gilt. And where Love works with the plural. You will see... All the best, my friend, and enjoy your bewitching catch. Nicolas

hope I do not get poisoned further !! Got a feeling this is the start to a slippery slope downwards haha!

Poison, that's what I am facing with too, great catch & congrats...

Hope you get what you're looking for !

Wow haven't 'seen' you for a long time. Nice to see you on the forum!
