OVERVIEW
The Rolex 5513 Maxi dials are the last versions of the matte dial Submariners and are called such because of their large lume plots in comparison to the previous generations. The MK3 (Mark 3) is known as having the largest lume plots of any 5513 Submariners and has become the most in-demand matte dial version the the 5513. Because of this, all the best examples have been snatched up by shrewd collectors and just get increasingly harder to find year after year.
CONDITION NOTES
CASE: Sharp and thick. Definitely was worn everyday at some point in its life but never abused nor neglected.
DIAL: Stunning dial with no signs of damage or abuse. Creamy yellowish lume.
HANDS: Excellent handset with matching patina and original lume.
MOVEMENT: Running optimally and in clean condition. I wore it for a few days then put it in the safe for several days and when I took it out again the time was spot on. Inquire for photos of the movement if you’re interested.
