I have one of these. It was my First Rolex purchase years ago. It's a hand-wound non-quick set watch. It is also very small 29mm. I haven't worn it in years. It was working fine until a few months ago until I dropped it. Now it needs a service. I plan on giving it to my Son when he makes his Holy Communion in 2 years. You are lucky that you have a bracelet for yours.

I had been eyeing a similar watch on Becker Time's website a few months ago. I decided to buy an 1803 instead. Enjoy your new watch.

Haven't worn my 5512 (3.7 mil.) in a while. Every time I put it on I thank myself for never selling it. You just don't see many matte 5512s out there. Unlike me, it's getting better with age!

Traded my BLNR for something with a bit more patina. 1973 GMT 1675 with a very nice case (bevels are still present). Many of the pieces I looked at had a case that's been polished way too much and it lost too much of its lines for my liking.

A personal fav. Can’t beat the wear of a 1675.
