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.
