Hi Philip,

It would be very interesting to find other 5500 SP 'underline' owners and indeed find out if they have the same reg. Do you have any idea how many of these SP watches were produced in total? Certainly you see more 5500 'Precisions' than SPs. There seem to be so many variations in the SP variations too: underline, no underline, one, two or no T<25 markings. Sometimes the two markings are in line with Swiss (like ours) or not (like Subfiend's). If, as you suggest, the SPs with symmetrical markings make up around 25% of total stock, what is more unusual, the 'in line' set up or the 'lower' setup? Fascinating stuff, though it is all starting to make my head ache a bit!! It seems like a lot of impossible questions, well without info from Rolex anyway. I bet you never guessed you'd find somebody who would be as interested in all this as you, even on this forum!
Thanks for the info on the reg number. Good advice, though thankfully I have some paperwork too.
Best regards,
David
