The crown on the dial is different than the standard dials. Also the R is different on the dial. It is a rare dial made in 1961.

The crown has a shallower arch in a tulip dial compared to others that have a high arch. Note how flat this one looks... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s not my watch - I found a picture to illustrate the tulip dial. What piqued your interest? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

5512 tulip
Anyone know how many of these were made? Would like to get a good valuation too. Not too many for sale and prices seem all over.
