My first Rolex. It is a masterpiece among diving watches in my humble opinion.
Now I have the bug for a vintage sub but do not even know where to start.
Any advice would be great.

Wonderful photos. As a first vintage (assuming you want to keep it dive oriented) I'd go for 5513(matt dial) or a white 1680. Both can be had in excellent condition with a bit of research.

Take your time and research the reference you choose. A nice vintage piece is like capturing a bit of history.

Mike,

thank you very much.

I love the simplicity of a sub without a date, and as little writing as possible on the dial.

In my long lasting affair with watches, interests come and go, but subs are like a seperate cult.

There is a fantastic submariner reference book for sale at 400 euros. A little steep for me. Are there other good reference sources to familiarize myself with the model?

Thanks
