They are selling me a Rolex 5512 with a domed plexiglass, the guy says it was serviced in 2004, he has the papers, but everything stayed original. Would should I look out for and what would be a reasonable price for it, thanks in advance guys, its in really good condition

skyedog · 16 November 2011, 04:35 AM

any pictures? if not it hard to tell, it's all depend on the conditions.

Keeperoftime · 16 November 2011, 04:39 AM

Pictures? Date of manufacture? would be the best way to help.

matt4hand · 16 November 2011, 04:39 AM

We need a lot more information.

Mocazen · 16 November 2011, 05:23 AM

it is a 5512, 279xxxx, serial, original bracelet, ill post a pic in about 2-3 minutes

Mocazen · 16 November 2011, 05:31 AM

Here it is

HERITAGE82 · 16 November 2011, 06:03 AM

To my untrained eye it looks to be in pretty good condition. Although the 5 o'clock lug looks a bit overpolished.

Some of the resident Rolex Guru's will soon chime in.... Good luck!!!

Mocazen · 16 November 2011, 08:26 AM

oh btw, he told me it has a rare domed plexiglass, is this rare and legit?

It appears to have a "super" dome crystal, and not a service replacement acrylic crystal. However it could be an aftermarket superdome also.

As I stated above I am no expert, but the in house guru's may need additional pictures to really give you a better idea of value and condition. So if possible please post more pics at different angles to really capture to key features of the watch.

Here goes

HERITAGE82 · 16 November 2011, 09:11 AM

Much better! Now just be patient....

For what its worth the watch looks incredible and well maintained...

matt4hand · 16 November 2011, 09:23 AM

My ball park is 5k head. I think the Rolex service papers(500) and the bracelet(750) add a bit to the value. Maybe 5500

Here is one that ended on eBay today at $4500

I wouldn't worry abt the crystal. If it is aftermarket who cares. I own a 1977 5512 that I traded a 1968 1600 SS Datejust even for. A week after I traded for it my watch guy took the watch apart removed the crystal and it was cracked at the bottom this was probably the original one. I would rather have a new aftermarket than a cracked original that would allow water into the movement. Anyway I think the superdome was for the 1665 Seadweller not the no date subs. I have had alot of no date subs and non had super domes on them the only super dome I had was in 2002 I bought and unfortunatly sold a double red sea dweller that had a super dome. And if you see the pictures of the people in the era wearing 5512 or 5513s they weren't super domes

I would stick with this estimate since Jacek does this for a living.

Mine is obviously low.

Jacek · 16 November 2011, 11:06 AM

I just feel nice 5512's especially with service papers are hard to find :)

Very true... and I think Jacek's numbers are spot on.

eparisini · 17 November 2011, 12:19 AM

is the dial ft first right or should it be mt first in a case ser # 1.279.7? or is it ser # 2.797 and than it is the right one?

RLX-lvr · 17 November 2011, 12:28 AM

Yep, that's a nice 5512. Dial matches serial, rivet bracelet, and service papers.
Jacek is right about the price as well.

I would have loved to snag the ebay one you posted. I didn't fully read the description but assuming all is legit---nice price!

(* just read re-lumed dial--still nice)

azguy · 17 November 2011, 02:58 AM
