Sorry it's not a Sub or a GMT (maybe one day) but I have a 6694 from 1960. My first Rolex purchase, so hope I did OK.

The rivet band the watch arrived on I believe is the original. However the band was too small so I set it aside and put on a vintage Fischer 2 piece mesh instead .. for what I hope is a sporty/dress look.

I have one of these. It was my First Rolex purchase years ago. It's a hand-wound non-quick set watch. It is also very small 29mm. I haven't worn it in years. It was working fine until a few months ago until I dropped it. Now it needs a service. I plan on giving it to my Son when he makes his Holy Communion in 2 years. You are lucky that you have a bracelet for yours.

Finally a NOS dome and fat font insert make this birth year '68 5513 feel like it should.
