My new 5508, a different kind of meters first!



My newest. Submariner 5508. Down to six watches and couldn't be happier! Shout out to Drster for making my dreams come true...again.

Love how the radium gave the dial just the right patina"





Couldn't be happier!

Tons of character and beauty! Curious if the second hand is later? I don’t know much about the 5508.

I am assuming so. I've seen a handful of other 5508s with the same. Morr research is needed on my end.
