What are your thoughts on this vintage Submariner?

I saw this posted and never saw this dial before, what model is this? (5513?)

It's a reference 5512, or at least it should be with that dial. You can tell it's a 5512 because of the 4 lines of text in this case.

That was my other thought, but I didn't see any examples out there with gilded and white font. Any idea when it may have been produced?

upside-down dials are worth a lot less.

Looks a lot like my old Bart Simpson

Serial 1,59X,XXX about the end of 1965 very late gilt dial 5512.
Also referred to as “2 color 4 line gilt dial” with Bart Simpson crown.

That's just cool. Gilt writing but a line of it is silver . Very cool
