What a watch.

Saw this in person for the first time at the Vegas Antique show a few weeks back. I was drooling...until I saw the price tag... $22k!

I had to put it on and take a pic...

What a gorgeous 5508! I'd love to try some vintage Sub's on!

mjclark32 · 14 June 2012, 07:53 AM

Niiice!

Keeperoftime · 14 June 2012, 07:58 AM

Lovely piece!
I'm sure the price was negotiable. :)

Amazing piece there! I have an affinity towards the 5508. Most guys will prefer a big crown, but I love the thin case and the subtle curves of the lugs on the small crown models. Needless to say, looks more at home on my dainty little wrist!

Great looking watch. Always been a fan of the 5508. With a service dial, it is MUCH more affordable than that (though still ridiculously expensive!)

Very nice condition 5508. I 'm a fans of 5508. here is mine:)

topcat30093 · 14 June 2012, 06:34 PM

Lovely looking 5508.

I hope that this may well be my next piece

but it must be from the 3rd quarter of 1958
