1966 Serial No ?
Hi,
I am looking for a 1966 '5513' Submariner and I am seeing conflicting information as to what the serial number should be :( This site states the serial number should be in the 803,00 range http://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-serial-numbers This site states the serial number should be in the 1,871,000 range http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/HOW-TO-DET...7996885/g.html Can anyone offer me the definitive correct serial number range and any other tips regarding what I should be looking for and what I should expect to pay in the UK with/without bracelet ? Many thanks, Steve |

Those are both wrong.

Thank you.
Now I can begin my quest with some proper knowledge, albeit very basic at this stage ! |

I have seen this model for sale on a reputable watch website. Looking at this dial however I am assuming it is a fake as the crown is not level. I read that the lume is hand applied but surely this is not correct ?

That is a 'Bart Simpson' crown and that's the way it's supposed to look!

Silly question but here goes...
Why did Rolex create this coronet to be uneven given their 'attention to detail' reputation? To the untrained eye (including myself) it looks fake? Also were any of the British military watches supplied with these dials? Thank you. |
