Hello all,
Does this crystal look right on this 1977 5512 5,4xx,xxx? I know it should be a 25-19, but I thought it should have a lower profile. Any Observations on the dial and bezel insert? Sorry for the poor pictures, I'm trying...

That is definitely not a 25-19 crystal. Almost looks like a Top Hat 127 without a cyclops
.
From your pictures that looks to be a very nice 5512 with a 9315 bracelet.
I can't tell if the hands match from your picture. Try to take a picture at an angle like the one below to reduce to glare.

Here is a shot of my original tropic 19

Thats what I was thinking. It should have a lower profile.

Is this an original dial?

03cobraa · 14 December 2011, 12:17 PM

Yes to the best of my knowledge. Why do you ask?

looks like t39 (seadweller) recent service glass...the higher profile sides when fitted to the sub making it look weird

Wow!

The crystal looks aftermarket, the dial looks odd and what's with the weird looking Mercedes hand?

I am not even going to get into the mismatched bracelet links.

Could you please explain? I know the crystal is not correct, thats why I posted, the dial, hand, the 9315 bracelet?
