What's not covered here is for 4 line Chapter Ring with Underline..
I happened to have seen and kept note of the serial number for reference
This one has a 891,xxx serial
I've seen two other example but I'm not sure if I can post the pictures here but it has 869,xxx and 87x,xxx serial..
So interestingly from what you posted here I see that there are pieces within the same range without underline.. And I always thought that there was certain specific period for underline. But here with Chapter ring underline I see that the production also run in parallel with non underline dial.
And obviously this underline variant here and the other 2 I saw don't have exclamation mark on the dial.
Sometimes makes me wonder if these specific underline dial , exclamation / non exclamation mark dial were made specific to certain country. But I guess that's a mystery we wouldn't be able to solve.
Thanks again for the great post Bill...
Best,

Rolex 5512 4 Line and 2 line Gilt Chapter Ring Serial range 1959 to 1963 report and review.
I wanted to take a moment and catalog a range of Rolex 5512 serial numbers beyond the known Rolex serial range reports. The focus is narrowly on Rolex 5512 Gilt Chapter Ring Pointed crown guard from the period 1959 – 1963. The idea was not have all the an...
Great article, Bill. A good tool for those among us who want to check some points...
Before jumping on a 5512 / 13 from this era. I am so in love with the Tiger dial. When I think that I hesitated to jump on that one... Best, my friend. Nicolas
A real beauty for sure the 554,xxx from 1959 4 line the first one in the series.
Really nice 3 lines of silver on gold. You can see it still has the gloss over the wringles vs the other that lost the gloss.
What a wonderful post Bill!! It deserves to be kept handy as reference...
... for this most interesting and beautiful Submariner reference: 5512. Thank you so much for sharing with us this important information for collectors! Cheers! Abel.
Thank you for this report, Bill!
Great way to build up a library! Thank you for taking your time. Best Blomman
I really wanted to have the watches in question included.
There are a lot of reports that reference watches but the connection is lost. As one distinct report i hope this helps. Bill
very informative article with excellent picture of example...
a good ref. guide for vintage buyers too ! thanks for sharing Bill !! Best, mahesh.,
A solid reference for Rolex 5512 collectors. Learn by example.
This can help remove some guess work and better align our understanding when collecting. Bill
What an amazingly comprehensive report, paralleled with the imagery !.. Thx so much for this major work !.. Read & re-read 2x
.. It really will be more than helpful to correlate factual findings with more than intelligent evaluation thoughts. Up to now, I don \'t own any 5512, just several 5513\'s and my only PCG, CR, exclam point is a GMT Master1675.. But it\'s so nice in case ...
While there are string parallels between all the gilt period 1675 5512 5513
The watches are produced often in batches so you can get concentrations atound setial numbers. For example the 1675 occ has a very short run and a defined serial range. I am glad you enjoyed this reference post. Bill
your 5512 gilt Tulip is amazing.
This really confirms the range of 5512 Tulip dials is very broad the two line most commonly found before the four line. Such an amazing example. Please share more. Bill
You did not bring a knife to a gun fight. Wow last picture what a collection.
Would love to have new thread to welcom all your collection. We have many fans here and you have a collection to admire. Feel free to start a new thread and we can all join in. Bill
Superb reference post Bill...
Really appreciate your hard work compiling these pieces and helped us to classify the variants and range of serial number for 5512s. Sam
