FT: 1970 Rolex 5513 Meters First Submariner - ghost bezel --- for Rolex Hulk SubC

[cleanup]

[Edit] Depending on which chart you consult I feel like this could be a 1967-1970. Late 60s to early 70s for sure.

Hi guys,

Transitioned to vintage about a year and a half ago and divested myself of all my modern watches but I want back in!

2.3 million serial, polished but strong lines & lugs. Includes original 9315 bracelet with 280 endlinks but I'm wearing it on a 93150 bracelet with 593 endlinks that is sturdier and more comfortable. Can include the bracelet for the right offer or if you don't want it, no worries, they're hard to come by and I have no issues with holding onto it.

All original save for the luminova pearl. Dial & hands are immaculate. Nice off-white eggshell patina. Meters first dial.

Serviced in 2014 by Archer watches as per Paul Hanrahan but I have no documentation or boxes or service papers, this is watch only. Keeping excellent time, I have been wearing it regularly on the weekends with no issues.

Trade value set at $17k CAD.

Only looking for a Hulk + cash right now. Please PM me if you are interested!

Thank you!

Forgive my poor macro photos and any dirtiness/grubbiness of the watch itself. It's summer and I got rid of a lot of my camera equipment recently as well. I tried!

Would also be interested in a Black Bay 58 on bracelet since I'm kind of tired of waiting for my AD! Of course plus cash as needed.

Some interesting trade offers but not quite yet what I want. Would also consider a Batman or a 126334 Rolex Datejust 41 with blue dial! I know, I know, I just want all the cool models!

After some more discussion with someone I would lean toward this being a 1970 model. One of the last meters first. This is commensurate with the flat, '70s style lume (not washed out like the super early meters first and not puffy like the mid-cycle ones).

Bump! Now that I have a Black Bay 58 definitely more interested in trading this for a Hulk, Batman or blue fluted Datejust.

Bump! Also open to cash offer below trade value. PM me!

Lots of interest but nothing firm yet! Price drop to $16k for a cash sale. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Buyer flaked. Last chance before this goes to the States. Anyone want to keep it in Canada?

Still holding onto this for the time being. Motivated to sell as I've come across something I like. One last price drop to $15000. Hope everyone has an excellent holiday season.
