Rolex Submariner 5508 under the Italian Sun.

How captivating is a glossy dial when the light is good, while living in our eternally grey towns, you feel more than you see...

Almost all the pics I took of my 5508 needed the help of a flash, so it was time to submit this beauty to its natural environment.

Well, Natural, not always, as I still wonder what the Hell this Submariner is doing on a roof...



The magic of a sunset:



The almost matching patina of a bronze statue:



A more common place, for a Submariner, the Harbor:





And the mandatory wrist shot:



The Submariner 5508 is, in my opinion an d according to my tastes, one of the most elegant Vintage Diving watch, with the Omega Seamaster CK 2913 and the JLC Deep Sea Alarm.

The magic of the patina of the dial compensates the frustration to not use it for what it was made, diving or swimming with it, as per its lack of water resistance.

But this aesthetical pleasure is so enchanting that this is a great Holiday companion.

Best,

Nicolas
