Description

The Rolex Submariner 5512 with Maxi dial is actually very hard to find at all. For Submariner collectors it is one of the last very interesting and rare pieces and it has only been produced for over a year in 1977/1978. But when it comes with an unpolished case and with a absolute mint dial then it becomes really really hard. The beauty of this watch

The Rolex Submariner

The Rolex Submariner is without a doubt one of the most successful Rolex models in history. Not only because it more than aptly served its purpose as diver’s watch, although I am pretty sure only a small number of Submariners has ever seen a spat of water. Its appearance in several James Bond movies certainly helped as well. If you omit functionality and marketing, the Submariner success is mainly due to its elegance as a timeless dress watch. It’s just one of those watches you keep looking at, regardless of wanting to know the time of day. The Submariner was launched in 1953 and officially presented at the Basel Fair in 1954.
