But also, and you got it...The circular lines on the cover, with the " linear " lines of the Nato strap, which evokes ...James Bond, as well as the watch, a 5508.
Well played, Raf!

Let's say that I was in the good mood...

But not too much, and the dial is really awesome, as fresh as it just comes out the Manufacture, but 50 years after!
The bezel is not the correct one, but I will hunt one.
So yes, this one is in stunnig condition, and you can imagine my reaction when I fell on it!
Best, my friend.

I found some new setting on my camera, hence I took the opportunity to take some pics of this beauty.
A Strong magic piece, indeed.
Gracias para tus palabras, Hermano!

Nico, most of time, i see the Sub with date, this one without date looks much stunning. how this without date compared with the one without date, both movements should be different? which one came first to the market?
one more question is that this one without date is not a chronometer certified, why Rolex did not send this one for certification?
thanks a lot,
stefan
There are a lot of things to say...
First, this 5508 came. Then, the 5513, then the 1680, then the 16 800 / 16 8000, and then the 14060, and the 16610, this last one will probably be disconrinued, as the rumour says...
Among the " without date " you have all the no crownguards ( as the 5508 ), the 5512 / 13, and the 14060, all the others being with Date.
Between a modern and a Vintage, some things changed, as the movement, and the COSC, too.
But here again, there is a lot to say, because you had to wait for a certain date to have the hacking seconds, for example...I think 1970 or 1971.
Have a look on Dr Strong's Review about the Submariner, it is well done, and very informative.
Best, my friend.

Blue is not related to the watch but to the name of the Rock Band...
You're a true Jocke Killer!

Wonderful picture but...
... I think there's 2 different messages in the backgroung: the text but also the "target" with the concentric circles!
Do you mean that an Oyster like this 5512 is a wondeful target?
Yes, I agree, sometimes, it is possible to imagine lot of things from a, excellent picture!

The Title of this Band, of course!

The case had been polished, obviously
But not too much, and the dial is really awesome, as fresh as it just comes out the Manufacture, but 50 years after!

Wow amigo mio!
The level of your pics is increasing every day!
And the level of your awesome collection too!
I had the pleasure to admire, "taste" and feel this awesome watch some time ago, and I must admit that this watch is simply stunning and awesome.
Thanks for sharing this awesome Oyster!
