First Vintage Purchase, Submariner 5513 from the 1966
I've been a longtime Rolex fan, ever since I was a little kid growing up seeing a Yellow Gold President on my fathers wrist, when I was 22 I saved up enough for a two-tone blue face submariner, and for my wedding my wife got me a Milgauss GV, eventually I sold the Two Tone Sub, but recently I have really had the Submariner bug bad, and a Vintage 5513, Meters first was all that would do it for me.
Fortunately, I was able to find an all original, great condition 1.5 Million series 5513 from 1966, with an original Swiss period Correct bracelet that was recently sent to Michael Young for a refurbish, I could not be happier with this watch. Please let me know what you all think
