On the internet I have found 17 sites with date of manufacture databases. 10 state that the watch is from 1968, 1 states that the watch is from 1969 and 6 states that it is from 1970. For me the older the better and I would love to say that the watch was from the 1960's vs the 1970's.

Any suggestions as to further research or similar experiences ?

thanks
No internet chart can give a exact date when any Rolex was made only a indication between X&Y years when the case was stamped.But with watches like the 5513 before around 1980 the system used do date more accurate. This was on the inner of case back, first two roman digits the year quarter, second Arabic year of manufacture.
