I have worn my 5513 since August 1967. It has been my constant companion for a 21 year Navy career, and another 20 plus years. I do love my Rolex.

Unfortunately, I only decided to start buying Rolexes about 2 years ago. Since then, I have added 5, modified one, and am now on the hunt for 2 more!!!

I got my Yachtmaster in 2001.
My husband got his Sub last year, from his father; his father obtained the Sub in 1998, and it sat, unworn, in a safe for 10 years. The watch was a 10-year old BNIB watch, with tags and all, when my husband received it. My mother in law has worn her gold DJ almost daily since the early 1980s (possibly 1982?). Seeing her wear that watch playing tennis, going to the beach, etc. showed me how durable a Rolex was. Up until then I thought a Rolex was just a fancy status symbol watch. |

I have a Model 6542, sn397640. Not sure when I bought it new, probably around 1960. It is a GMT Master without the protective ramps on each side of the stem, and a bakelight bezel--BobMoe--(COILAM@aol.com)
