OMG!, . . .
I wanted a true vintage 5512 for so long, and thanks to Adam in Sydney, and the fine work of Beau at LAWW, I've got a 1967 dream - reportedly "unpolished" (per LAWW), and on a MY-tightened Swiss rivet! So stoked . . . (And, the picture doesn't do the even-ness of the patina justice - it's all a perfect creamy match in real life).
Now, trying to find an appropriate tan-leather strap - - to match this amazing patina!! (Everest doesn't make anything that will fit the 4 digit subs -- too bad...). Anyone have a suggestion?
Such a 1st world problem, .. right?

What a beauty! Why not wearing it with its rivet bracelet?

18038 today (c1978 full set.) I'm trying it on a few straps for a while, to take a break from the President. I've had this stingray strap for years, but haven't used it much. I put a gold buckle on it, and reckon it suits the DD very well. The polished 'pearls' of the skin's grain complement the vibe of the watch, IMHO.

It's been fun following this thread for 2 years and post images in it, but I have now sold my last vintage piece (1680 Red Sub) - and wish all of you vintage heads all the best in the future of things in the vintage world.

Changing of the guard - I try to rotate between these two monthly, so made the switch today from the 5513 to the 5512.
