Prototype Sub?

[freddy333]

Anyone have info on this Sub (I know the Daytona is a prototype, so I am guessing the Sub is as well)

 

 

It is on a gen site & appears to be a standard 5513, but with a negative color minute track. It also has the slightly serifed 3/6/9 markers like some other early 70s 5513s.

How many prototype dials are there?

As is always the case with Rolex, there are no official figures, so no one knows for sure. But I have seen about 20 prototype Daytona dials alone.

The dials are actually BLUE, It looks like they were trying to go for the snow flake look.

The dial on the Sub above looks black & I am not sure whether this is a prototype or just another vintage Rolex color-degrading anomoly, but speaking of blue

Philipp and company with their ooober rare vintages.. Seriously jealous over here! Just went through his latest blog it was unreal. Those daytonas are nice but I like this one the most, out of the prototypes he posted. These others are darn nice too

glad the sub didnt actually end up with that look

Wow, that gold Daytona is sweet. And I don't like gold watches. The blue sub is very cool too, same tone as the Tudor snowflakes. Very cool.
