1966 Rolex Ref. 5513 "Tropical" gilt dial Submariner. Dial has taken on a really rich tobacco brown that complements the gilt text on the dial. Short glow lume quickly fades when exposed to UV. Case previously polished but remains well balanced. Appears to have a correct long 5 insert has faded to a ghost grey.

TJbender of Fog City Watches - Great seller!

I recently bought a Rolex 16570 Explorer II from Tim at Fog City and had an awesome experience. Tim was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, including when Fedex tracking stopped working. Love the watch!
