Rolex Submariner 5513 "Bicchierini" b&p

Rolex introduced the Submariner 5513 in 1962, three years after the Submariner 5512. The main difference is on the inside, as the 5513 does not feature a COSC-certified chronometer movement. After its first few years of production, the 5512 always used a chronometer-certified movement. This was signified by the "Superlative Chronometer" text on the dial at six o'clock.

Finally, in the mid-'80s, Rolex transitioned from matte to glossy dials featuring lume plots with white gold surrounds around the lume plots. It's the first hint that the diver's watch was pivoting from tool to luxury.
The excess of the '80s had arrived in full force, and not even the reliable old Submariner could resist it. Even the lume plots have gone from a functional feature to a statement.

Moreiver Rolex started making solid-link bracelets (93150 with 580 end links for the Submariner).
