Post by: ry on May 04, 2011, 09:27:14 PM: no,not maxi dial.That is after 74/75.The choices...thinking of earlier version where meter is first and also the later version where maxi dial comes in.....maybe with time i will get them all....wishing

Post by: ry on May 20, 2011, 07:14:44 PM: Takashi i never understood what you meant by wrong size initially but after looking at Sean Connery aka james bond photo posted above, that is glaringly undersize.But then again maybe we all got it wrong.....its meant to be worn under size. :)

Title: Re: Rolex 5513 arrived
Post by: G.MAC on April 19, 2012, 04:46:48 PM: just curious. is this variant more expensive than the meter first? I see people list this as feet first/ meter first.
Title: Re: Rolex 5513 arrived
Post by: Godzillaz on April 23, 2012, 05:05:40 PM: The meter 1st are earlier version of the model. The dial of 5513 started with meter first then change to feet first.

Not to say which one is ore expensive as it all depend on the condition. Of course if both are in mint condition then I would guess the meter first dial would sell at a higher price.

There's also gilt and matte dial to be consider as well.

Just to give you an example, here's a gilt dial meter first 5513

Post by: dfkuji on July 21, 2012, 07:24:39 AM: Can we set the parameters first...vintage can be such a loosely used term...as far as i can remember, when it comes to cars...25-50 years old is refered as classic, while more than 50 years is vintage. Does it apply to watches as well? :mooning:

Hi siewming , thanks for sharing. You have an older Rolex pocket watch. How old is that watch in your post. Thanks.

Hi H.Chang, the Rolex pocket watch was an army issued General Service Mk II dated to pre ww2. It has a 15J Rolex signed movement made by Cortebert.

Well, it has an 18L movement and looks quite a bit difference from yours, pictures of inside and caseback below.
