Really nice 3 lines of silver on gold.


You can see it still has the gloss over the wringles vs the other that lost the gloss.

Great way to build up a library! Thank you for taking your time. Best Blomman

I really wanted to have the watches in question included.

There are a lot of reports that reference watches but the connection is lost. As one distinct report i hope this helps. Bill

very informative article with excellent picture of example...

.. It really will be more than helpful to correlate factual findings with more than intelligent evaluation thoughts. Up to now, I don \'t own any 5512, just several 5513\'s and my only PCG, CR, exclam point is a GMT Master1675.. But it\'s so nice in case ... 

While there are string parallels between all the gilt period 1675 5512 5513

The watches are produced often in batches so you can get concentrations atound setial numbers. For example the 1675 occ has a very short run and a defined serial range. I am glad you enjoyed this reference post. Bill

Really a great work!
