The prices for these bad boys are getting way up there.
However the real delta is quality examples. They are literally double the price.
A 4 line 5512 with no hand drag is a real rarity add the fact that it is a full set. You know where I am going but there are few and far between.
The browns have a lot going for them also when in perfect shape.

Rolex 5512 gilt 2 vs 4 line black vs brown.
I had an opportunity yo snap a few pictures compaiting two sets of Rolex 5512 gilt watches. Some very attractive pieces. The brown dials require direct sunlight to appreciate them. I know there are two camps of thought one being the perfect black gilt tru...
Your 2 browns are top.
The easy answer would be both black and brown. If I had to choose with a gun on my head, I would say your 2 lines brown. Your collection is breathtaking, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Wonderful collection, Bill!
Like Nicolas I prefer the brown line. It\'s very special! Best, Thomas
Bill, I will never be able...
... to go into vintage Rolex after viewing your posts! What a fantastic collection! I think my preferences goes to the brown 4 liners... But would be extremely happy with either one! Best Blomman
Great collection of 5512's-- they used to be fairly easy to acquire, but
today it's almost impossible to find any as nice as yours--enjoy. HAGWE.

The 5512 four lines glossy black is my dream grail Sub!!
all the watches you show Bill are beautiful but my grail would be that four lines deep black dial !! Thanks for sharing!! Abel
A bit late, but hope not too late.. I see it from 2 sides: 1/ perfect black is so pure, a bit bold..2/ the brown renders a sweet charm &
.. a bit more warmth, when the sunlight plays with the reflections.. I\'d be more than happy with either, guess a tad more for the sensual brown.. My humble 2 cents.. Best, hs PS: amazing specimens of a mesmerizing collection - Thx so much for sharing, ed...
Superb array of Gilt CR Subs!!!
The browns are gorgeous ! But the glossy black ones are breathtaking! Particularly love your 4 line collection... Especially your tulip! Best, Sam
Simply both beautiful.
Honestly, I can not choose .... I love too much submariner ref. 5512 Gilt in this beautiful setup. However, the brown dials that have had the natural color change and did not undergo in time traces of oxidation, water seepage and humidity, have certainly ...
