Submariner 5512-New Superdome
I just got this back from Bob Ridley, who installed an NOS Tropic 19 crystal on my Submariner 5512 (5-mil. serial). I had never seen one on a Sub in person until now, and I gotta say it's an amazing transformation. It goes from a vintage Sub to super vintage! I had a regular Rolex replacement crystal prior to this, and I couldn't be happier that I put the superdome on it. Highly recommended if you have a 5513 or 5512. The slight distortion created by the crystal from different angles is stunning. The photo doesn't really even capture it properly.

Is yours the same dome as this one or is this a 39 on a sub?

Hmmmm .... Not sure if the other Sub has a #19 or a #39 crystal. I'm not enough of an expert. It looks as if the other one is slightly higher, so maybe that's a #39. But it could be just the angle of the photo. Either way, it's super cool looking.

This dome is a #19 superdome. A #39 super on a 5513 is very noticable. |
