So you are the luck guy!!! I was heartbroken when I was told it sold!!!! Great great watch and to a great collector too!! Mighty congrats.

Tcaviglioli · 19 January 2012, 12:14 AM

Gorgeous and congrats! Wear it and enjoy it in good health. I do feel like 5512 PSG CR gilt dials are one of the nicest vintage rolex you can have and so easily wearable (being lucky to own one myself) in all circumstances without attracting too much unwanted attention.

Cheers,

Thomas

BIG Congrats John!!!

It's a stunner!!!

Michael M. · 19 January 2012, 12:15 AM

Amazing piece!!! Huge congrats!!!!!!!!!

DiamondJack · 19 January 2012, 12:18 AM

Absolutely stunning John and one of my grails

.

Huge congratulations.......

I've been searching for an early 60's two line chapter dial with exclamation mark for a while and know how hard it is to find one in that sort of minty condition. And the four line is even more valuable and harder to come by.......

I am sure that smile will be a permanant feature for quite some time to come......

Can't wait for the wrist shots

YetiBiker · 19 January 2012, 12:21 AM

Once again John, congrats! She is lovely in every way. There were few made and even fewer made that have survived and aged a gracefully as yours! Enjoy her and I know she will make you smile every time you wear her

psv · 19 January 2012, 12:23 AM

One of the most stunning copies I've seen. Congrats on the score!

Keeperoftime · 19 January 2012, 12:24 AM

Subexplorer · 19 January 2012, 05:46 AM

Hello John!
Your smile is not reflected on the plexi, but I can well imagine it!
Beautiful piece!
It´s so nice to look at those great lug bevels and the chapter minutes ring on the dial.
Of course a gloss dial + gilt is a pleasure to view!
A fantastic & very classic watch indeed.
I wish you enjoy it so much!
Kind regards, Abel.

azguy · 19 January 2012, 06:13 AM

OMG. Congratulations, John. A grail indeed. I don't even one to know how much this beauty costs.

springer · 19 January 2012, 10:09 AM

Looks like your "train" came in finally John. Congratulations.

drockadam · 19 January 2012, 10:31 AM

rfknauss · 19 January 2012, 10:31 AM

gslaskin · 19 January 2012, 11:06 AM

That is a stunningly beautiful timepiece. What are the "four lines" you guys are talking about?

Eric88 · 19 January 2012, 11:11 AM

The exclamation point is an added bonus...ha ha. To hold one of these watches in your hand is to literally hold a piece of history. The only thing missing on the dial is the reflection of my smiling face. Thanks Eric.

I knew it!!!

I saw this watch and I was like WOW... it's such a BOMB of a watch WOW!!! and I am so glad you are the new owner John!!!! Beautiful to the Nth degree... super happy for you buddy!!!!!

Enjoy the new beauty in good health... wow... this is truly a GRAIL...

Best,

Fred

Yummy. Congrats John

Frogman4me · 19 January 2012, 11:40 AM

Wonderful John! I am glad you gave me a sneak peak, congrats and enjoy that beauty my friend.

Beaumont Miller II · 19 January 2012, 01:48 PM

Thanks everyone for the kind words and warm response. The watch is a true survivor from the 60's and looks better at 50 years old than I do at 45. I promised my wife I would be on the sidelines for a while unless I sell a few. She only allowed me to get this because she knew I had been looking for one soooo long. Here is a pic that I managed to take today. Good luck in 2012, and I look forward to seeing which watches wind up on your wrists.
