That is, without exaggeration, one of the ugliest watches I have ever seen.

It's been around some time....I've seen it before. I would buy it if it was cheep enough and have it restored, but I fear it would cost too much.

If this is the best 5512 you've ever seen, I would recommend getting out more.

That has been posted in the past.

It was hideous 2 years ago and last year. It is still hideous.

Sellers name is very appropriate!

I´m stunned that it fetched over 4K, seller should have paid me 4k to wear it!

Anyone wearing a watch like that must crave a lot of attention. One of the most hideous examples of poor taste.

I am sickened. Literally sickened beyond words whilst sitting here.

How, or why would anyone do that to any Rolex, let along a vintage 5512 is just beyond my scope of comprehension here.

Tempted to wrap my sub in al-foil and rattle-can spray it gold for the same effect and quality of finish.

I think that watch shows taste and distinction. Thank you for making my morning. I shall think of that watch again, whilst dying, I thank goodness for a glimpse of its outstanding loveliness. Exquisite. What else can I say?
