Rolex 5508 4 Line from 1962
Oct 17, 2016,02:21 AM
I have a latest obsession with early Submariners, especially the small crown ones.
Cannot argue that the Big Crown is fantastic. It has great presence on the wrist.
But there's something charming about small crown Submariner. Thinner case with smaller crown makes it more elegant and refined.
After an early 1958 5508, I found this , probably one of the last 5508 from 1962.
It has a 4 line dial which means this one is equipped with chronometer grade movement , hence the 4 line.. And I believe it's only produced in 1962.
And it's funny how it found me, I missed the deal initially but few weeks later, it found its way to me
Oh.. And almost forgot.. It's brown
I still don't think I'm finished with small crowns.. Still hoping to find more in the future
Best regards,
Sam
