Stuck in traffic near the Holland Tunnel in NYC on the Bonneville. Might as well stare at the Daytona.

Could you fill us in on the 1560? Because I always understood that the 5513 and the 5512 had either the 1520 or the 1530.


Thanks.

Thanks! Well, it's not a Rolex, and it's technically not vintage, but I've ridden with dozens of vintage Rolexes on it over the years!

Thanks! I go on those other forums only when something breaks and I can't figure it out. Certainly not as much fun as here!

Thanks Allan. I'm keeping my eyes open for one for you.
Mark, it is not uncommon to find 5512's from the early 60's with either the 1530 or 1560 movement.

I've often thought about adapting a smooth bezel to mine and having that as an option.

I think it's nice....to have one without the numbers etc.

I'm on the road with it; took off the bezel so it looks really discreet and doesn't attract attention.

I might need to shave my head like Colonel Kurtz too.
