Rolex Big Crown big love.
The small details really make this a very special watch.
In this case not a 6538 but a 5510.
Rumor/ legend has it that there are fewer than 1000 units produced as it was the transition between the 1030 movement and the 15xx.
Have a great weekend.

Along with the 5508 it represents the end of an era for Rolex Submariners. The 5512 with the new 40mm cases, crown protection and new bezels were already in production. And the same new movements.... Share more pictures of it pleasa!
