Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 "Comex Non-Logo Small Number"

5513

This is the Comex sub that has been prominently featured in many Italian Rolex books. It was part of the Mondani collection that was sold by Antiquorum many years ago. As found and photographed, the watch and an incorrect meters first dial fitted into it. We saw fit to put a period correct dial into the watch to return it to its original spec. A great piece of early Comex history!

Case

Original oyster case is in excellent condition. Recently polished to factory spec with beveled sharp edges. The original Comex issue number is still visible at the bottom of the case. (106) This is often polished off and it is rare for it to be still visible.

Dial

Original matte feet first dial in excellent condition with a nice patina. The hands are patinated and generally match, however the hour hand is a few shades darker. This dial was recently fitted into the watch and is 100% period correct. When watch was acquired, it had a meters first dial which is incorrect.

Bracelet

Comes on a folded link oyster fliplock bracelet. The bracelet has 12 links and has little stretch.

Tudor Submariner Date "Lolipop Box and Papers NOS"

REF. 76100

To complete the trifecta of NOS Tudors, we have here a "Lolipop" version of the 76100. Its named as such because of the unusual seconds hand which lacks the common "Mercedes" partition in the bubble. This example comes with an unstamped unsigned blank guarantee, and accompanying hang tag, papers and box. Be quick, this guy isn't going to last every long.

Tudor Submariner Date "Box and Papers NOS"

REF. 76100

Part of our recent "haul", this time capsule Submariner is 100% brand new and unworn. When's the next time you'll see something like this? The watch was sold on May 19th 1989 and according to the internet, that day saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 2,500 for the very first time. Don't wait until the Dow hits 50,000 and snag this amazing time capsule.

The Horological Minute
feat. Joshua Ganjei
This week we bring to you an interview with Joshua Ganjei, a second generation watch dealer based in Boston, MA. Joshua got his start in the business early, causing trouble at the European Watch Company store at a very young age. Eight years ago, he officially joined the family business. The European Watch Company has been a fixture on Newbury Street in Boston for over 25 years, and was started by Joshua's father Albert. In the store they carry a fine selection of both new and vintage watches. Joshua's real passion lay with vintage watches, as he as worked hard to expand their business in that area with his knowledge of various different brands, not just Rolex. A genuine vintage enthusiast, we're proud to have Joshua as this week's Horological Minute.
