Ok, usually 5513s of that age come without its original bracelet .

if you want to wear on bracelet you will need to get an oyster 93150 on 580 endlinks to fit.

Watch looks fine but the strap gap is somehow too wide and awful. Could be due to the size of the case or the positioning of the lug holes is poorly calculated. They could have offered original curved end straps which can cover this flaw better. 

i echo yr sentiments on the gap and make the watch look really thick....even for my Tudor GMT, I find this awful when i switch to Nato strap as it makes the watch looks very thick and bulky...

Maybe is Tudor's design...but i love the rolex's thickness, really sits so much comfortable...

The thickness is fine 

i am referring to the gap which shows when the standard strap is on.  

When using Nato strap, can see gaps as nato straps slip under the watch covering all gaps

its due to the position of the lug holes.

Ribena Gold Sub

"ribena Sub" is a termed i coined about 10yrs ago for Subs with tropicalized blue dials that turned purple.

When i listed 2 Ribena Subs for sale some years ago, the term caught on and i see people using it nowadays.

So far none available from my side.   
keep a look out for you.

A good serif dial 5513 head dating 1973 would cost $18k to $20k now for your reference

Assuming you are only asking about SS Rolex, Which GMT which sub?

gMT 16700 or GMT 16710? Which color
Sub 16610 or 14060?  
Original complete set or put together set, or no box no papers?

Yes in 1995 .  If that is your birthyear you would be looking at a W or T series watch 

For GMTmaster, i would recommend the 16700 with quickset date with pepsi bezel insert rather than the GMT2 16710 with seperate GMThand which requires much more effort in setting dates.   However if you are a frequent traveller always crossing timezones then the GMT2 16710 would be easier for the purpose of adjusting time across timezones.  
 

for Submariner, 16610 is with date, 14060 is without date and non COSC specced.  Both are great watches, just which look and function you prefer.

my take is just buy all of the above.  $50k should more than do the trick for watches only.  
good luck

Thank you Sir. Not for my birth year. 

I already have the 1997 GMT 2,  so perhaps i should just focus on the SS Sub as a backup plan in case my original plan fail. 

The 16610, SS Sub with Date, if i am looking for full set, how much will be the estimated market price?

Ref 16610 about $12k - $14k is fair today depending on watch condition
