Rolex 5513 the same but not quite

This will be a fun exploration. In this first picture you will two watches which appear to be very similar. The Rolex coronet is almost identical very close to the Bart Simpson. The flat bottom is distinct. The Swiss t<25 also fills the space right to ...  

Wow, Bill! 5513 Comex, now!

This one is my favourite, with the Vladesque Triple 6 Comex. Now you need a Milsub, English or French, to have your bases fully covered. Damn, you have an IMPRESSIVE collection of Subs! Best, my friend. Another one I will have to see in the flesh! Nicolas... 

Nico amci I am working very hard to reach your level

Very nice example !

withy such an early Comex number on a 5513, there is no controversy on the "no logo" dial. Any history with the watch ?

Funny Bill, we have sisters!

We do seem to have many watches in common. In this case, even consecutive numbers! Comex 5513 no. 81: As pictured in the Mondani Submariner book: I had a Comex logo dial in stock which has been fitted meanwhile - just to know what you have on your wrist w...

My father in law has no 89 which he was given whilst working for Comex in the N. Sea. Does anyone have a rough idea of what these are worth?

Small numbers Cx 5513 is a grail to me.....

fantastic watch Bill. I kind of like them without the Comex logo on the dial - stealthy!! I was recently offered a Pre-Comex 5513, full set which was lovely. I love the Comex coronet and the early ft first matte dials. The taller coronet is the true Maxi ... 

What's the next step ?

That is one stunning and true grail piece. Ross, I totally agree, stealth is the way to go...........A true Sheep in Wolf's clothing :) Regards Tony

You are getting close and closer

To my home town! You will soon be yelling 'droit au but' ;-) 5513 Comex, that's la classe des classes! Get that H.Valve fixed and enjoy it for ever.

Fixed

I would love to know how. Are you talking about arresting the oxidation? Please tell me more. Bill
