Hello!

Kaneko from Commit Ginza will introduce a recommended watch!

Today, we have a Ref. 5512, a 4-digit Submariner that is rarely seen on the market!

Rolex Submariner All Tritium
Ref. 5512 Serial. 2.5 million range (manufactured around 1970)
Cal. 1570 folded bracelet 9315/FF280 clasp code 70.3 case back 70.1
Accessories: Watch only
SOLD OUT!!

The Submariner "Ref. 5512" was manufactured from around 1959 to around 1978.
The difference from the Submariner "Ref. 5513" produced during the same period is that
the Ref. 5513 is a non-chronometer model,
while the Ref. 5512 is a model that has acquired chronometer certification.

The notation at the 6 o'clock position is

660ft=200m
SUBMARINER
SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED

in 4 lines.


Compared to the Ref.5513, there are overwhelmingly fewer on the market,
so it is recommended for those who want to stand out!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The exquisite aged look of the hands is irresistible.

The dial condition is excellent,
maintaining a beautiful state even under a loupe.

The index luminous material also has a good amount of aging, giving it an excellent atmosphere!!

The bezel insert is also in great condition!!
The MK3 insert has faded beautifully to gray!

The condition shows scratches consistent with its age,
but it gives off a tasteful atmosphere!

The mid-case is solid with no excessive finishing.

The bracelet is a folded bracelet appropriate for its age.
There is some slack and dents, but the overall atmosphere is not at all compromised.

There is slack appropriate for its age, but this is also part of its charm!!

The end links, bracelet, and clasp are perfectly matched!!

The domed crystal is also very nice!!

Finally, a wrist shot!!

The aged condition is渋くて良いですね~。 (nicely subdued and good).

There are scratches consistent with its age, but the dial is exceptionally clean!!
That is its charm!!

Rare! Vintage Submariner "Ref. 5512" from 1970
The 4-line Ref. 5512 dial always looks cool!!
With its excellent dial condition and superb atmosphere, this is a highly recommended vintage piece!!
Let's secure such a well-preserved 5512 while they are available!
It is scheduled for sale after an overhaul at our affiliated workshop.
For customers looking for a vintage Submariner,
please consider it!!
