When the sun comes out, this watch comes out of its box for me. Maybe it is the memory of picking it up from Italy in the summer, or maybe the Pesto Pasta i remember so well from Genova. Or maybe I just love seeing that gilt dial shine in the sun. Whateve...

The dial is superb. When it catches the sun- must be a nice sight. The 5512 is a nice summerwatch indeed. Is your watch on a superdome plexi? It does not seem so. I finally found a superdome for mine and it makes a world of difference. I will post a some ... 

no..its not a superdome.....

.....i have those on my 1665s and yes, you are correct, the supermodel really does make a watch quite special...a nice finishing touch

The Rolex 5512 always looks good in the sun.

But the matt dials look great also. Bill

Really like that shot.. By the intense ocean blue, this gloss dial + indices become a compelling 3D !

It is hard to capture the gloss of the dial but the spirit is there. and the dial has zero drag marks. Thanks for the compliment. Bill

gilt, gloss, chapter ring... what a beautiful combination...

... it makes for an awesome timepiece. These old 5512 with chapter ring epitomize all the best character of a crown guard Sub. Such a beauty! No doubt this marvelous dial plays so nicely with sunlight! Keep enjoying this marvellous watch Joe. A delight to... 

Very nice, Joe. Yours is really splendid. The provenance is great, too. ;)

As for the summer, the 16550. My all good 5508, probably the 6542, and one or two others, like the 1655 and the Yachtmaster. Best, Nicolas
