Military Submariner

Speaking of the MilSub, one submariner that is still popular amongst people long associated with fashion is basically based on Ref.5513, with features of the military model such as “3 exclusively designed hands”, “a revolving bezel calibrated for 60 units”, “a ‘T’ mark indicating Tritium” and “fixed lug bars”.

As for references, there are variations with those given an exclusive 5517, and remaining models 5513, while the existence of a piece given a double reference 5517/5513 would be quite profound globally.

This piece reached 190,000 USD at Christie’s last year.

However, although it is natural for such a to surge in popularity, it is said to be a really difficult model due to the problem of imitation dials, hands, and bezels. Although it is fortunate for the piece to have something like the service papers from Mr. Hudson, yet there is also the debate as to whether the letter itself may be genuine or not.
