Gilt Is beautiful! ... just for the pleasure of sharing...
... a few shots of one of my holidays by the sea companion.
Ref 5508 from 1958. Gilt with silver depth inscriptions, gloss dial. Exclamation dot and big logo clasp make for the charm of this oldie!
Cheers! Abel
What a beauty ! But please don' t swim in the sea with these old ladies ! [nt]

Abel, you have a treasure! Aged in an incredible way... The size/shape of the crown on the dial is simply eye catching! All the best, massi [nt]

You have me licking my lips over this one.
You and Bill and CC and Blomman and the infamous Baron are killing me!
A fantastic 5508 with a killer insert--- looks all original-- love the photo with the lobster claw. Enjoy. [nt]

Thank you so much Pastaboy! Yes guess it’s all original ...
... though I suspect handset lume has been retouched.
Anyway it has a great glossy dial and overall condition and working is top considering a 60 year watch!
Cheers! Abel
Not sure if handset has been retouched--- looks great to me-- regards. [nt]
