Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce some recommended watches!
Today we are introducing a rare Submariner/Ref.5512 with a matte dial!!

Rolex Submariner Meter First
Ref.5512 Serial.15 series (manufactured around 1967)
Cal.1570 US rivet extension case back 67.2
Accessories: Main unit only
SOLD OUT!!

Submariner "Ref. 5512" manufactured from around 1959 to around 1978

The difference between this and the Submariner "Ref. 5513" produced at the same time is
The Ref.5513 is a non-chronometer model.
The Ref. 5512 is a model that has been certified as a chronometer.

At first glance, the difference between this and the Submariner Non-Date/Ref. 5513, which looks like the same model, is
Since the Ref.5512 is a chronometer, the markings at the 6 o'clock position on the dial are
“SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED”
Its distinctive feature is the four-line notation including the chronometer notation.

The 5512 has a wide variety of matte dials.
This time we will be introducing the original dial meter first!

"Meter First "
This is an early model with a matte dial where the 200m depth reading comes before 660ft.

Furthermore, this unit is different from the usual meter first.
This is the earliest matte dial with chronometer markings called "large" that are long horizontally.

The Ref.5512 itself is a rare model that is hard to come by,
This dial is a very rare matte dial.

Another attractive feature is that the luminous material is filled with tritium, which reacts to light with green light , just like the mirror dial !

The matte dial is something I sometimes see on meter-first Ref.5513s, but
This is a rare dial that is rarely seen on the Ref.5512.

The dial condition is very good and has been kept beautiful!
The condition of the index luminous material is also excellent, changing beautifully to a cream color.

There are slight cracks on the luminous hour and second hands,
The condition of the luminous material is good, and the balance of the luminous tanning of the hands and indexes is also good!

The Long 5 bezel insert also looks great!!
There are small scratches,
This is a rare insert with very little fading and in very good condition!

The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches,
It is in good condition for a model manufactured in 1967!

The middle case is slightly polished but still sturdy.

The bracelet is equipped with an extension type US rivet bracelet.

The bracelet is also sturdy!

The windshield is an aftermarket windshield, but the windshield is very plump.
It gives off a great vintage vibe!

What do you think?
This is the incredibly cool Ref. 5512 Meter First!

Finally, a wrist shot!!
This is a rare dial with a cool large chronometer notation!

Vintage Submariner Meter First "Ref.5512/67"
This is an extremely cool and rare item that exudes the atmosphere of an early Matte model!
It's rare to come across a Ref. 5512 large/meter first with such a good look!
This is the first vintage Submariner we've had in a while, so
If you are looking for a Ref.5512 with an early matte dial, please consider this one!
