Incoming! Rolex 5513
I would like to share a new, to me, Rolex 5513, I received it from the hands of the daughter of its previous owner who left it as an inheritance. She talk me that for 33 years his father use this watch without never service, no even take off the bracelet ones. Need some love, wash, and fix his crown but keep time!!!! Is from 1982 or 83, is a Mark V dial (please help me to confirm), and has a georgous patina, please share with me your opinion about this reference:

A lady send a message in the Rolex Official Page of Instagram and says she has a old Sub that want to sell and donn't know how, and was from my country, I ask for a picture (DM), and she ask a fair price for me, she live 6 hrs from my home but this watch deserved the effort!

This is a real barn find. Wow. Looks fantastic. I’d love to get a better look at the dial. Post more pics if you put in a new crystal.
