  Cheers GM, much appreciated
  
  I didn't think about the 5510 - another one for me to look up!

  Had a 5513 for 28 years (thanks, Dad). OHMSS, LALD, TMWTGG (though there is a rare publicity navy-unform photo of Rog for Spy wearing a 5513).
  
  THE greatest watch. Ever.

  Hi David
  
  I absolutely love the 5513! Only recently I was viewing several for sale online and thought one day I would definately like to purchase one as a wearable collectors piece - as you say it is an amazing watch! Was the 5513 not also the model worn by Steve McQueen - the King of Cool himself?

  Hope so!
  
  Wear mine with my white Triumph "Steve McQueen" edition T shirt as often as I can.

  Bond and McQueen - surely it does indeed deserve the title "coolest watch of all time". No doubt other famous faces have worn this model too - time to check out Jake's Rolex Blog!
  
  I feel the need to start saving for one right now!

  007 and a half - well spotted that man! See I don't know my 5512 from my 5513 - I must do more research! )

  That's a cool T-Shirt. I like the Bud Ekins Great Escape "Jump" T-shirt that used to be availale at Johnson Motors. Bud Ekins doubled McQueen for the jump and was also a riding buddy of McQueen.
