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 MK5 (Mark 5) is the very last of the matte dials and were used as late as 1984 as Rolex was finishing its supply of them. If you want a vintage matte dial Submariner that’s still as reliable as a more modern one, the MK5 Maxi is as close as you will get.

CONDITION NOTES

CASE: Sharp and in my opinion never polished. Was definitely an everyday watch for someone at one point but I’m sure it took a very long vacation at some point in its life.

DIAL: Absolutely perfect dial with no blemishes. Creamy lume.

HANDS: Excellent handset with matching patina and original lume.

MOVEMENT: Running great and in superb condition. These movements are bulletproof.
