the #5512, 1961 "re-painted ''silver'' original "gilt!
follow up on #5512, "re-done silver track" to original "gilt dial'! as you can see from this very close up picture, the "silver track" was re-done over the orignal dial, with lower level gilt paint still intact! it shows, a 'differant font' to not only 'chronometer certification', but also the "non-factory font style" on depth rating on meter/foot depth! i want to thank all again for helping me get this found out! it pays to "get expert knowledge" from the experts here!

its still a beauty and you can source an imperfect dial down the road. i think many of the posts in reply to your initial were constructive. the guys wanted to let you know that if you paid mint money you should have a legit gripe with the seller and maybe get some cash back. regards, harry

no "re-fund needed",,,,heck i never look backwards!!
"IT's the knowedge harry",,,, i knew something was up with that 'goofy' meter and foot 'font'! i just thought i may had found a "push it thru" dial mistake from rolex! i knew the gilt was right! it was that " holly grail" lotto thinking,,,did this get by thought? heck i wanted to see if i could get in the "black out submariner" #5510 bracket!? but,,,michael reminded me that's to good to be true fact!! anyway,,, i paid as much as a nice 2 tone datejust would cost used!! so were in good shape there! besides,, i'm excited to own it and show the folks whats "what',,, how many really #5512's 4 line dials in gilt are in the world for sale? less then #1665's red with "papers' i bet!!
it's a honer to own this watch,,, heck,,im leaving it looking like it is,,, "THAT DRUG BEHIND THE CAR LOOK",,,,,!!? REMINDS ME OF MY FIRST "WIFE"!! after the "alimony verdiic"?  fred |

its a very cool watch as-is. getting a old school dial with some dammage likely wont cost too much and they are out there on ebay.
