New Arrival! First Gilt dial!

I didn’t truly understand the Gilt enthusiasm until I handled a few in person. I’ve been watching them for awhile and just acquired this piece.

Per caseback, it’s from III.62. It has the more uncommon combination of chapter ring and underline on the dial.

Congrats to You! That's sure a nice looker...I'm always looking for a gilt 5513 myself. Do you know if the bezel is original? Just asking, as I see some with a fatter font and flat 4s... Enjoy that Beauty!!...

Thanks all! I switched to a leather NATO because rivet bracelets have never fit me well.

There are Submariners, and there are Submariners.

THIS is the latter.

The first time I looked at my "first gilt ", I couldn't believe It. Having vintage experience in Matt, the gilt gloss experience and dial change in different lighting and angles still makes smile Congrats and enjoy!
