Read it twice! Great website!

swish77 · 31 March 2014, 12:31 AM

Just awesome! Inspiring to see so much passion about this hobby. Many thanks!

Blue Lantern · 31 March 2014, 12:47 AM

This is awesome. Nice to get such a clear explanation of what "Pre-Comex" means, but I learned a lot more besides that!

jdmi32 · 31 March 2014, 12:50 AM

Very well done. The time, effort and passion put into it is clearly evident. Thank you for making this great resource available to the community.

Thank you for a interested thread

strafer_kid · 31 March 2014, 05:45 AM

Super reference site - excellent work! I bet this will set a lot of guys off chasing 5513s again!

red1108nyc · 31 March 2014, 08:46 AM

Truly monumental John! This is purely a work of passion and love my friend! Well done and many collectors of the future will appreciate the groundwork you have so efficiently laid out for them. Bravo!

Great work John!!!! You are a class act!! Thank you for advancing our knowledge of the vintage world!

Beaumont Miller II · 3 April 2014, 03:20 AM

Thank you once again for the warm response. I am pleased that many of you found the website user friendly and informative. I hope many of you continue to find this a valuable resource for learning about the different dial variations of the 5513.

marcello pisani · 4 April 2014, 02:41 AM

I must admit that site lay out is very handly and also the text is not so bad !!
LLOOLLLLLLLL
bravo BM , well done !

Marcello I am glad that you feel the website is a valuable resource to vintage Rolex collectors. Thank you again for helping to make it possible.

GeoGio Greece · 7 April 2014, 09:58 AM

John, how is the site doing ? Are You getting visits ?

My regards and congrats

Beaumont Miller II · 7 April 2014, 10:23 AM

I am going to call the web designer tomorrow. My hope is that we can work with the hosting company to find out what kind of traffic we are receiving. I have had a lot of good feedback and suggestions from many TRF members. In addition, the programmer tweaked the code for the enter button to allow for the website to work with more browsers.

stmoore · 7 April 2014, 10:35 AM

My favorite page is the sequence. A great overview and aesthetically pleasing.

Best infographic (if we have any fans of Tufte):

Lastly, the elements of the page that outlines the face, "detail 1" and "detail 2" make dial review easy to understand.

Beaumont Miller II · 7 April 2014, 10:55 AM

Thanks Steve. The first paragraph had a lot of information with dates and serial numbers. Every time I read it, I knew it needed something to keep it all straight. Then it occurred to me to add the diagram. I am glad you found it helpful.

GeoGio Greece · 7 April 2014, 11:14 AM

Keep up the good work

Token74 · 25 April 2014, 06:01 PM

Great resource. I'm only starting to learn about the vintage world so the timing is perfect. Thank you for your contribution to the Rolex community!

For a rookie like me at vintage this is amazing. Becoming unhealthily obsessed...
