Hmm, tough one!! I have been tumbling the same question arround!
I would really prefer finding a 5512 with four lines rather than a 5513. However, I dream of one with good patina and faded bezel. Finding two in same condition, I would choose the 5512 over the 5513. (obviously talking maxi dials here). |

Many feel the 5512 is the collector's choice, but it pays to do you're homework reguarding year/movement/dial type etc...
As an example, movements for the 12 should following the following break down, from 1959 till about 1964 was with 1530 movement from 1964/65 till 1966 it came with 1560. from 1966 till 1978 it came with 1570 up to 1971/72 it came with a 1570 movement with hacking second. Dial types for gilt/gloss generally are as follows, - OCC dial w/4lines, "Submariner" in gilt, OCC and depth in silver (outer track) 2- 2 line dial, older font style, gilt "Submariner" and gilt depth (outer track) 3- 2 line w/ newer font style (outer track) 4- SCOC dial w/4lines, "Submariner" in silver, OCC and depth in silver, older font style (outer track) 5- SCOC dial w/4 lines, newer font style (outer track) 6- SCOC dial w/4 lines, underline below "Perpetual" and no outer track (still marked "Swiss", not "Swiss T<25") 7- SCOC dial w/4 lines, no outer track, start of the T<25 The 5512 was discontinued circa 1978. |

5513 for me.
They mat be more common, but I prefer the clean uncluttered face as opposed to having too much writing on it... just a thought. |

I prefer the 5513 with only 2 lines of text, as compared to either the 5512 or any of the date models. So good looking.
