The charm of the Rolex 5508.
My Tudor 7924 is a killer, and this is one of the vintage Rolex / Tudor I wear the most. Its big crown and incredible dial are killers, indeed.
But in a more subtle way, the 5508 has its interest and calls for love.
Especially when it comes in this condition.
More discrete, maybe also more elegant, I should wear it more often.
That's what I say to myself each time I have it on my wrist.
Long life to to Small Crowns!
Best,
Nicolas

Long Life to Small Crowns my friend!! SC are a totally different beast than the BC...
... a charming and subtle personality of the SC against a "macho" striking look of the BC. When we find an example in such a great condition like yours it is a complete joy to have it on the wrist! An echo of a long gone golden past! I need not to tell yo...
This 5508 is just incredible
Dial is fantastic, insert is WOW, great case with fat lugs, what better can you expect from a vintage Rolex ? Wear it in the best of health my friend Mike
Really love this one.. Saw one some 2 years ago @ a notorious watch store.. Pretty hefty prize, but not insane.. Stupid Me !..
.. to not pull the trigger, then.. Well, my take is - you cannot have them all ! Best, hs PS: The good thing was, I didn\'t have to leave empty handed..
A small crown with minty gloss black dial...
really is an elegant watch.. And yes, discreet is the word for it.. That particular one is really fine example Best, Sam
