The present Rolex Submariner reference 5513 is a highly evocative custom piece that blends classic Submariner design with strong military inspiration, directly referencing the legendary reference 5517 issued to British forces. Executed with careful attention to historical detail, the watch offers a convincing tribute to Rolex’s most iconic military diver. The watch is fitted with a custom fully graduated bezel insert, closely mirroring the precise and purposeful design of the 5517. Fixed bars further reinforce its utilitarian and military character, lending the watch a rugged and authentic presence. The dial is an original non-serif matte example, preserved in perfect condition, and forms an excellent foundation for the overall aesthetic. The hands have been custom-modified to match the distinctive sword-style hands associated with the 5517, completing the military look in a cohesive and faithful manner. The case retains crisp and well-defined serial and reference numbers between the lugs, with a serial number in the 2.5 million range, underscoring the quality and preservation of the case. The caseback is stamped “5512 II.61” and features a personalized engraving from a previous owner who served in the British Special Forces, adding a unique personal and historical dimension to the watch. Altogether, this custom Submariner 5513 represents a compelling homage to Rolex’s military diving heritage, combining authentic vintage elements, historically inspired modifications, and strong character into a distinctive and evocative timepiece.
