Submariner 5512 Back Home from LAWW With a New T-19 OEM Acrylic Dome

Happy to have my 1972 (3,300,xxx) four line matte dial 5512 Submariner back from a minor service at LAWW that included ditching the Rolex Service Crystal for a new OEM 25-19 “Re-profiled” acrylic dome. Wow...what a difference! Very happy with the result.

Beautiful watch & looks as good as new, 1972 is my birth year. I would love to find 1989 - early 90’s era 5513 someday when funds permit that is.
