New addition 5508

Just added 2 lines of silver 5508 to my collection and wanted to share it with all you vintage lovers.

What do you think?

Classic - congrats.
It may just be the angle of the camera plus the twist of your wrist, but perhaps check that center link's pin just where it meets up with the bar thru the end link...or the springbar.

A friend was showing me his vintage GMT at the track last month and one of the springbar pins had slipped out

Congratulations, it's a beauty!

Please take Paul's advice. The same thing happened when I bought my 5513, a springbar was loose and I had to have it replaced.

Just curious, why are the two lines of Submariner and the DR so far apart? is this common or a normal variant? Thanks
