A three-colour exotic or “Paul Newman” dial Daytona 6262/0 is unusual in itself, but when our MD took this one from our special selection personally for service at Rolex in London something even more remarkable transpired. Look at the service notes on the Rolex schedule of works : they describe the dial explicitly as being a “Paul Newman.” This was never Rolex nomenclature and it is quite extraodinary for them to have adopted a name given to a variant by the wider vintage community. We do not know of another such Daytona where the dial has been so irrefutably established as a genuine PN !

    • While any Submariner 5513 is usually worth a few thousand pounds, one like this on our hirsute MD’s wrist a few years ago can be worth over ten times as much. The “Explorer-dial” Submariners are those made with the unusual “3 – 6 – 9” dial format similar to those more commonly seen on plain Explorer models. Earlier Submariners than this could be found with them, but 5512 and 5513 variants from the early 1960s era are especially favoured by many. There were in fact several versions of the Explorer dial during the short period of production and this one, with its uncalibrated depth rating, has become widely recognised only in the last few years. This particular watch was subsequently sold at auction.

  • Military Rolex Submariner model 5513

    Stock number:

    • This military-issue Rolex Submariner model 5513 was supplied to the Royal Marines in 1975. Note the peculiar hands, specified by HM Government. These watches were fitted not on bracelets but on a nylon strap secured over fixed bars between the lugs. At the end of his service the navy diver in this instance chose to fit a generic bracelet over the fixed bars. Originally it will also have had a bezel marked with full 60-minute divisions, but these were often lost during active service and replaced with a standard, civilian bezel as here. Even so, in this condition it remains a watch worth tens of thousands of pounds.
