Rolex just happens to be the most successful watch manufacturer ever. A few dates in the history of Rolex: the first Oyster model was born in 1926. The year 1931 revealed the first Oyster Perpetual model with a 360° rotor. In 1953 Rolex released the 'Submariner 100m' later known as the James Bond model when Sean Connery wore the watch in the famous beach scene with Ursula Andress for Dr. NO.The legendary Daytona chronograph was released in the mid-70's.
On a military standpoint, Rolex has been the official supplier of the French, British and Commonwealth navies.

Rolex Modern Case 16610
vs
Tudor Vintage Rolex case 7928
In comparison to my modern Rolex Sub is my Tudor Submariner model ref. 7928 from 1967. This is a civilian version of the same Rolex case used by the US Navy Seals and it has the “shield dial” version succeeding the "rose dial".
Like the 5513 it houses the same Cal. 390, based on the Rolex 1030. This Sub 7928 is a non-date model and does not hack. This one came with an original Rolex riveted-bracelet, has a distinctive sharp crown shoulders and a prominent and flat back as opposed to the following buble-back models.
A true Tudor from Rolex!
