Description

Dear all,

On sale today is my personal watch, a 5508 Submariner, circa 1959.

Watch is in great conditions, overall, just need a service as currently watch is moving fast. Glossy dial is still beautiful glossy, and the gilt part of the dial is still shiny and reflect light. The red triangle bezel insert is an aftermarket but the original (see photos) bezel insert will also be included. All luminious plots are perfectly dome and round and is ORIGINAL and correct period.

Case serial number, all visible under the loupe and will be provided to the potential buyer if needs to.

The watch case is polished very lightly it seems, all 4 lugs retains the original chamfers.

Watch comes with a nearly perfect conditions 7206 end 58. I have kept the extra links and will be included to form a complete bracelet. There is nearly no stretch. Pretty amazing.

Rest, I will let the photos do the talking.

I am asking for USD 36,000 shipped. Bank wired, and Fedex included worldwide.

Solid references if you need, and reach me out for a discussion at reficul_x AT yahoo DOT com

No return unless grossly misrepresented.
