Ref. Compared to the 5513, it is much less common,
It's also recommended for those who don't want to look like everyone else!

The luminous material is all tritium.
The exquisitely withered look of the needles is irresistible.

The dial condition is excellent,
It is in good condition even when viewed through a magnifying glass.

The luminous indexes have aged nicely, creating an outstanding atmosphere!

The bezel insert also looks great!!
The MK3 inserts have a nice grey fade!

The condition is age-appropriate with some scratches from use,
It creates a tasteful atmosphere!

The middle case is solid and not overly finished.

The bracelet is equipped with a winding bracelet that matches the era.
There are some creases and dents, but the atmosphere is not affected in any way.

There is some wear and tear due to its age, but that's part of the charm!

The FF, bracelet, and clasp are perfectly compatible!

The dome windshield also looks great!!

Finally, a wrist shot!!

It looks very worn and stylish.

There are some scratches due to age, but the dial is in excellent condition!
That's what makes it so appealing!!

Rare! Vintage Submariner "Ref. 5512" 1970
The 5512 dial with its four lines of inscription always looks cool!
The dial is in good condition and has a great atmosphere, making this a highly recommended vintage piece!
