Vintage Rolex Submariner 5512 Stainless Steel

This watch is in great honest vintage condition. The case is strong with normal signs of wear. The inside caseback is stamped “5513” which is common for these 5512s. Rolex would often times use 5512 and 5513 caseback interchangeably and we have seen this many times before. The bezel ring has remained sharp and the bezel insert is in attractive condition with some wear and scratches; the bezel shows some wear along both edges of the bezel insert with some nicks. The “Long 5” bezel has faded to an even and beautiful grey color throughout and in some lights can have hints of blue/ lavender. The pip at 12 is a later replacement. The dial is in excellent condition with light patina. The lume on the dial has aged to an attractive buttery yellow color. The hands have developed patina and aged to a pale yellow color. This bracelet is stainless steel Oyster Rivet with 10 links. The back of the clasp is stamped “C+I” “7-67”.  It is in good honest condition with normal signs of wear; it has some stretch between the links.
