    A first for me... trio of Maxi dials :-)

    No long-winded review on this one as you all know the watch I'm sure, a 1978 5513. This is my first vintage Rolex, procured from a super TZ member this morning :-) I must admit, I knew very little about these watches before purchasing so I had to just bite the bullet and hope it's a good 'un, which it certainly seems to be! It's a full set and keeping near perfect time (ignore the LV, I didn't set it before taking the photo).





    Here are, from left to right... 5513 :: SDc 4000 :: 16610LV

    The 5513 is very nice indeed - well done! Bet you it ends up on your wrist often.
    I am not really fond of green - but do get it.

    Thanks for the comments :-) It's so strange having a bi-directional bezel on a diver, but I really like it!

    Bloody hell. For someone that claims they have fallen out of love with watches then that is

    Perfection personified.

    A very nice trio.
    I'm wearing my 5513 as I type this, so I'm a bit biased

    Is that Burnsey's 5513 you've got there? He mentioned that he was thinking of selling it.

    Great trio by the way.

    I guess I'm the weird one here but I prefer the LV. It's not that the 5513 isn't a fantastic watch but I'd rather have the LV.
    In fact I'm trying really hard not to buy a LV but I've promised myself not to buy anything new in 2014 and I've made it to August.
