Warning: Reference 5512 content...

How can you not but love the chronometer version of the classic no-date Sub? In this case, the rare Mk1 maxi dial that was produced for about one year ending in 1977.

Recently I took mine off its bracelet to try something new and started wearing it on a vintage leather strap. I can't get enough of it. Here's what she looks like. Enjoy....

Really nice!

[mailman]

That dial, those lugs

[seattleal]

Wow! That is a beauty.

Nice insert too.

[swish77]

Couldn't agree more. Beautiful example!

The 5513 is great, of course, but there's something very special about the 5512. It's my favorite in my humble collection.

[thomaspp]

Wonderful!

[brandrea]

It's a BEAUTY

10/10.

I wear my meters first 5512 a lot. Wish I had a decent bezel insert for it but at least this one has character

Thanks Aaron! I own a nice 5513 as well, but if I could only keep one, the `12 would be it! Love yours with the ghost insert. Looks sweet!

Nice! Inserts can be found. Just watch out for the fakes.

Here is my very well cared for 5512 dating to 1972. I have a beautiful 1978 Maxi 5513 as well and cannot imagine ever selling off either of these staples in my modest collection....great watches!

Couldn't agree more. Mine '67 5512 is the watch I wear almost daily, and couldn't imagine giving it up.
Also, yours looks quite snug on that wrist! I have a spare 93150 link if you're interested

[jps3b]

Is this a “maxi dial” like yours?
