5513mattedial.com - Great 5513 Website

A new website has just been created:

http://www.5513mattedial.com/

It has everything you always wanted to know about the Rolex 5513 Submariner.

There is every fine detail on this watch you didn't even realise existed.

Definitely worth a serious and detailed look

Great photos too, worth looking at just for the photos!!!!!

fantastic site.

So this is a huge undertaking. The level of effort; pictures, content, research, site creation, and hosting. This is a ton of work and the end result is extremely professional.

Thank you for putting it together as a resource for the WIS community.

Hats off!

Thank you everyone for the kind words and warm reception.
I have been wanting to make a contribution to the Rolex collecting community that would be a valuable resource and stand the test of time. A big thank you to Marcello, jedly, and Tomvox for the gracious input that allowed the project to see its completion. In addition a big thank you as well to bluemartinifan for his editing skills and to those that contributed pictures.

Enjoy

Hi Beaumont! this is a SUPERB website, and EXACTLY what I would have loved getting into the field of vintage subs! I spent well over a year learning at best 15% of what you posted, the hard way. :)

As a consideration for future growth, any chance you may be able to consider cataloguing bezel inserts, and bracelet/endlink configurations as well?

cheers,
Mark
