Incoming rare vintage Submariner
I found this for vintage Submariner 5513 for sale and we did a deal. 1960's, remarkably good condition, had it checked by a Rolex dealer and it is what it claims to be.

I love the simplicity of the dial which and the limited amount of text. The modern versions have so many lines of text squeezed on.

Wow, there isn’t a bad iteration of the sub imo, but this one is particularly nice!

If that's the case, then that's the case....except..

Doesn't evidence come before execution? Anything to back up your claim?

Considering the source, no claim is required

Are you serious? You should do a little research on whom you’re asking evidence from. And maybe apologize.

Banned in a flash. Gotta give the mods on TRF a lot of credit. They are on it!

Stunning Sub, though. I've seen the photos on IG before and always thought it could be the most beautiful vintage Sub I've ever seen.

He was likely an alter ego or co-conspirator with the original poster...

Love these people who come out of nowhere with no history anywhere with the rare finds...then another “new guy” gets in the fray and poof they are gone...also love it when some new person comes on and challenges someone most here view as a vintage expert...typical, these things come in waves like the Tudor posting a few days ago.
