2 Vintage Rolex In 2 Days
I recently decided to buy my first Rolex. So I went to my local shop and they had a Day/Date owned by a local rancher who would wear it on the farm. This was the watch I wanted and it has a great story but I decided to check craigslist one more time locally to see if anything popped up and 5512 had!
Very happy with my first experience. Definitely hooked! Enjoy the pics. |

Love the fifty-five 12! Would be very tempted to preserve it in its "just found" state!
Nice. |

Great finds. Some 1500- and 2000-grit sandpaper, followed by PolyWatch, and that crystal will be good to go. Protect the bezel with masking tape first.

That’s a heck of a 5512 to find on Craigslist! Can you share how much? No worries if you don’t want to say. Just amazed that never reached a dealer or auction.
