1961 5512 4 Liner PCG I.61 Caseback (my grail)
Rare Tall Crown

Not a massive DJ fan, but the sub is stunning, VERY nice.

eparisini · 27 February 2011, 09:02 PM

Nice watches! I love 5512 cr dial 4 line

Lol-x · 27 February 2011, 09:24 PM

They look very good

The 1601 usually has a fluted bezel with the 1603 an engine turned bezel. Did you check between the lugs for 1601?

If you wanted to put a fluted bezel on it that wouldn't be too much of a problem.

Personally I prefer the fluted bezel..

Anyway it is a gorgeous dial on that watch with the underline and a very juicy thick date wheel font

Thanks Steve!

Yes it is a 1601 between the lugs. I switched out the bezels. I prefer the engine turned bezel, as the fluted is too flashy for me.

Nice 5512!

Dan Pierce · 27 February 2011, 11:47 PM

That datejust's dial is so crisp! Love it. And that 5512 is a hard to find piece in that beautiful condition. Nice pickups!
