How does this 5512 look?
Hello all,
After owning several modern Rolexes I'm now looking to purchase my first vintage watch. I'm a little unsure of what to watch out for though and wanted to see what you guys think of this 5512. To me, the case looks good, I think possibly recut but lugs still look thick. I believe the bracelet is a replacement 93150. Not sure about the dial and bezel though. The bezel teeth do look sharp which seems a little unusual for a watch of that age. My main concern is the dial and hands. I've read that the patina should generally match, but on this watch the hour hand looks different. Is that normal? I'm not necessarily looking for a perfect patina; I want a daily wearer and would probably end up sending the watch in for a movement service and service dial/hands. More important to me is a strong case that hasn't been polished down. But I want to know what I'm getting, especially since the prices on vintage watches vary so much based on condition and originality. Anything I'm missing about this watch? Thanks a lot guys! |
