During 1984 the 5513 went through a few changes from matte finish dials to the early glossy dials with armoured white gold surround lume dots. 

This model was one of the earliest gloss Submariners and is a 'transitional' model with an epic spider dial which is typically only found on this model and serial range. The dial looks like it has cracked but in such an amazing uniform way!

Thick case free from dings and has defined crown guards and original screw down oyster crown.

The watch has developed a superb deep pumpkin lume which is very uncommon to see on these early T-25 dials
