Some interesting history on my vintage 5513

I just took out my 5513 to give it a bit of air. While looking at it , I decided to stick it on a Nato and wear it for the next while ( Speedy going to rest). While taking the bracelet off , I looked at the serial number , and decided to google it....

Came up with this - http://www.watch-pop.com/rolex-vinta...age-00697.html

That's the same watch I bought a few months ago ! From what I can read into it , this chap bought the watch in 1969 while in Vietnam , and sometime later tried to sell it. Eventually I landed up with it.

Not sure if this guy/post is genuine , but I have no reason to doubt it , and what are the chances getting the exact hit with the serial. I tried to take a pic of my watch's serial number but its impossible , at least with my lens.

Are there any other resources I can try ??

Does anyone know a way to date that entry on the site ?

Thanks for any thoughts.
