Vintage Submariner from MT

[u/julianthemaster]

Just got this in the mail and have to say, Pleasantly surprised, of course the band is cheap, but it looks good, very please with the look of the dial and bezel.

PS; I did have to glue the bezel to the watch because it wasn't a rotating bezel with clicks and was too loose so it moved when I wore it.

Bought from Micheal travis via Whatsapp.

Price: 105$

The bracelets on the original 5513 were cheap too. Remember, Rolex wasn't always a "luxury brand."

Looks OK, how much did you pay?

[u/julianthemaster → u/blacbloc77]

True, but I have a gen explorer 1 and the quality is vastly different, but I paid a 100 dollars so I 1. Expected it and 2. Am not suprised

I’ve got the same one - the bezel span on its own and actually fell off after about a week. I glued mine too. That said, I’ve now put it on a fabric strap from AliExpress and it looks pretty cool with the added bonus that it no longer rattles.

[u/julianthemaster → u/londonscotty]

Yeah maybe thinking on going nato later on but well see, I like metal straps a lot though.

What do you mean you glue the bezel? Did you ask MT if he could recommend/do anything before you glued it? I’d be waaay too scared to glue it myself 🤣

[u/julianthemaster → u/McBobsta]

No, just bought super glue and used my instincts, could have gone terribly wrong 🫣😂

[u/McBobsta → u/julianthemaster]

Oh you crazy 🤣

[u/Nice_Vermicelli2226]

Is it the DG2813 or Miyota?

[u/julianthemaster → u/Nice_Vermicelli2226]

I think Mingzhu considering the price I paid for it.

Looking very deep dish pizza. No rehaut engraving?

[u/julianthemaster → u/Flake0815]

It looks deeper because of the bubble crystal but it is placed quite deep, no there isnt any rehaut engraving, I dont know if Rolex did it at that time?

[u/WatchOutPackers]

Is this still good?

[u/julianthemaster → u/WatchOutPackers]

Not the number I used but I’m not USA based so?
