Rolex Submariner 5512


The hints in the sneak preview posted below were not really subtle.. but for those of you who need a lil' more help: we got our hands on a Submariner 5512 in excellent condition!

The 5512 is the chronometer brother of the well-known Submariner 5513, in this case indicated by the two additional lines of text - superlative chronometer officialy certified. While the 5513 is an awesome piece the 5512 still trumps it - it's more rare and unusual and pretty hard to find in decent condition at reasonable price.

Our 5512 was built in '68 and features a GF rivet bracelet - killer cool. It was the watch of choice by Steve McQueen who wore it on the same bracelet. As seen in the pics it's in very good condition and the patina is awesome.
