Well, Rolex was asked by the Syrian dictator to produce a number of refences for him & to what i know, only less than 5 pieces of these 5513 still survived today..

Any markings for the case back?

[Felix]

Why did rolex entertain the request

A Syrian president's request not to be entertained? Look at how many Arab dialled Rolexes out there,...
Am sure you can imagine the impact of the middle east on Rolex's image

No, nothing on CB, only ref's number...

Nice rare watch anyway. This watch should not be tied to what the Syrian govt is doing now. Just a nice looking watch.
