You'd love the 1680! It's my favorite diver. Just something aboutthat unique crystal and the matt dial.

Is that the 5513 that you picked up recently, on the strap?

Otis, yes but it was actually a ref: 5512 model, but very similar to a 5513. I still haven't had it serviced yet, but will get around to it soon hopefully. :)

Ahh yes, my mistake, that's the one! I actually had my eye on it too for a while.... I do like the history that those models come with

Hi, the 5512 is from 1984 (2.4 million).
I got it a couple of months ago, just the watch head. Then I bought the bracelet. Happened to get the right bracelet, endlinks and even a date on the bracelet for 1969, so it is coming together very nicely. I will be getting it serviced by Rolex very soon. and when I do you'll see the final product

Did u mean to say that the model came out in 1964 and not 1984?
