Rotary GT Monza
This is a queer watch. Rotary is not a well know brand and one of their current model does look like Lecoulte reverso. They're quite an established brand, sadly not a lot of info can be found about them. I have with me an almost new old stock for a diver watch from Rotary. It is an automatic running flawless, the dial is greyish with a screw down crown.
After some research, it appears Jo Siffert wore a similar watch with GT Monza.

Omega Seamaster 300 165-024
wikipedia define diving watch to be "a watch designed for underwater diving that features, as a minimum, a water resistance greater than 10 ATM, the equivalent of 100 meters". Well to me, diving watch is a robust timepeice that tell time in any situation any time, impressed upon others the wearer is responsible for both his and his peers time.
My first dive watch was a vintage Omega seamaster 300 reference 165-024. It has gain much fame after Antiquorum has collaborated with Omega to feature OMEGAMANIA - THEMATIC AUCTION.
It uses the calibre 552, made in the 1960s.

Rolex 5513
My first Rolex Submariner. Ever since the first day I walk in to world of watch collection, my first choice is a Rolex sub. After many years of waiting and opportunities I manage to acquire my first Rolex 5513. This watch is fixed with a solid wire bars. Case back dated this watch to be made in the 1960s (Case Back dated 1V.67) with a case serial number: 176XXXX. The movement used is calibre 1520.
Reading off some info from a magazine, rolex 5513 housed the movement calibre 1520 or 1530. Production is dated from 1964~1989. I hope someone can tell me which series of the rolex house the different movement. There are two different type of dial variations too, one with the "200m" shown first and the other with the "660ft" show first. What the different? I would find out more, it be a great if you happens to read this and tell me this piece of info.
Tudor Rose Submariner
My first Tudor submariner. At the point where my grail watch is that of a Rolex Submariner. However due to the price at that point, a Rolex submariner has to be a dream. I chance upon a Tudor Rose Submariner small rose dial. This is the first time i see a Tudor with a rose dial, I fall in love with it immdediately. Rose is such a storng flower and such nice emblem. The info I know about this watch is that it was made in 1960s and reference 7928. Anyone has more info about this watch? It be a great honour to haer from you.
