One of our all-time favourites at Bulang & Sons has always been the no-date Rolex Submariner. Among its many dial variations, the Maxi dials hold a special place in the hearts of collectors, with the Mk2 standing out as one of the most attractive and balanced executions.

Introduced during the late 1970s (5 mill-6 mill cases), the Mk2 Maxi dial retains the bold oversized luminous hour plots that gave the Maxi series its nickname. Produced for only a relatively short period, the Mk2 represents one of the most desirable configurations of the reference 5513 and has become a favourite among vintage Rolex enthusiasts thanks to its unmistakable character and rarity.

Offered here is a reference 5513 fitted with this highly desirable Mk2 Maxi dial. The dial is beautifully preserved, with the lume plots and matching hands having developed an attractive warm cream patina that perfectly complements the watch's honest tool-watch aesthetic.

The watch is presented in beautiful overall condition. The case retains thick crown guards and strong, well-defined lugs, while the desirable fat-font bezel insert has aged gracefully, adding plenty of vintage character, with a lume pip filled with luminova .

The watch is fitted with a correct Oyster bracelet, reference 93150, complete with 580 end links and an R8-stamped clasp, all presented in excellent condition. The movement has been fully checked and regulated by our watchmaker and is ready to provide many years of reliable enjoyment.

The no-date Submariner remains one of the purest expressions of Rolex's tool-watch philosophy, and the Mk2 Maxi dial is widely regarded as one of the most charismatic and collectible dial variants produced for the reference 5513. Combining bold aesthetics with a relatively short production period, it represents exactly the kind of honest, collectible vintage Rolex that continues to captivate seasoned collectors and newcomers alike.
