A Comprehensive Review Of The 5513 Matte Dial Submariner
Vintage Rolex watches are all about the details. The smallest differences can separate a relatively common $5,000 watch from a rare $50,000 watch, and learning about them is a never-ending journey. It's part of what makes vintage Rolex so much fun to collect. Last week a new website popped up dedicated entirely to picking apart the history of the reference 5513 matte dial Submariner, cataloging the many subtle changes in the matte 5513 over its nearly 20-year production history.The matte dial 5513 Submariner was produced from 1966 to approximately 1984 and the no-date, two-line dial makes it instantly recognizable. Over the years the depth rating changed (meters-first became feet-first), various fonts and the alignment of the text shifted, and the size of the lume plots varied, all under the banner of the ref. 5513.To learn more, check out 5513mattedial here.

Submariner No Date at AD - Need to decide!!
Hi All -I've been looking very seriously at a pre-owned GMT II LN as my first Rolex. Drove past a random AD today, stopped in and they had a new GMT LN and also a Submariner No Date, both fully stickered. Fell in love with the Sub No Date!! Love the simplicity and symmetry of it. My mind is changed! Im new to Rolex (though not new to watches) but I typically try buy pre-owned. This AD was adamant no discounts and I'll have to eat the tax. I don't like taking the depreciation hit but that said just browsing the ��for sale' listings it doesn't seem like I'll save a huge amount going pre-owned these days (assuming pre-owned watch is still under warranty). So, for the first time go ahead and buy a new watch? Or, wait and ty snag pre-owned! Thanks for your thoughts!

Everest for Tudor Black Bay - Pics and Mini-review
I’ll try to keep it brief ladies and gentlemen.I’m blown away by this strap. It’s really changed the Black Bay game for several reasons.First off the quality, fit and finish is superb. The integration and tolerances are perfect. It’s also the most comfortable way I’ve ever worn my black bay, and if you know me, you know I like to tinker with my watches. So I’ve worn my BB on multiple rubber straps, leather, NATO and OEM bracelet.The OEM bracelet looks great, but I’m between links and could never get a truly comfortable fit. The strap versatility on the black bay has always been a huge positive. However, the case height is an issue for me. It wears well because of the flat case back, but the lug holes are in a terrible location for the appearance of traditional strap wear. Wearing a strap exposes a huge gap as well as the entire wall of the case, which is tall and frankly unsightly IMO.This integrated Everest Band solves all those proble

Unworn Condition/ Protective Plastics in place
Does this mean that the watch is BNIB?This is not to offend anyone. I'm looking at some of the watches on the internet and see this a lot. I'm looking for a specific model but want to make sure that it's a new and not used by someone with plastic still on.Thanks
