Rolex Submariner 5513 – R Serial (1987) – Gloss Tritium Dial – Cream Patina – Head Only
From the final chapter of the iconic no-date Sub, this R serial 5513 (1987) presents with a beautifully aged glossy tritium dial, showing warm even patina across all plots. No relume, no dial work. Lume has mellowed to a creamy tone that plays perfectly against the deep mirror-black surface, with white gold surrounds still crisp and reflective.
Dial surface shows light natural aging with minor gloss breakdown around select plots — consistent with untouched late 5513s. Hands match in tone, tritium intact. Bezel insert is original with light fade and period-correct serif font. Pearl present.
Case is strong and unpolished with full proportions and healthy crown guards. Caseback correctly stamped ‘5513’, movement winds smoothly and runs well. No service history on hand. Offered head only — no bracelet, no accessories.
An honest, last-gen 5513 with dial character and integrity — a reference-correct watch for collectors who prefer charm over polish.
