Incoming 5512
Big thanks to Tony Fabro, here on the forum, for this 1967 5512.
And to think, three years ago I knew NOTHING about Rolexes.
....I hate you guys!

Cheers
Andy

Cheers, mate.
However, the beer turned into scotch, then a random Bloody Mary, and then some Calvados (please don't ask). All the while the Sub stole the show.
