1962 Rolex Submariner 5508 with Tropical Gilt Chapter Ring Dial

Case: The previously polished case is excellent and features wide sharp bevels. The bezel insert is also excellent and has faded to a deep glossy chocolate hue with some subtle hints of lavender as well.

Dial: The gilt exclamation dial has aged to a deep glossy amber hue with some remnants of the factory black enamel still visible around the center post. There is some very subtle spider cracking patina present on the dial. The puffy lume plots have aged to a warm creamy hue with some spots having aged several shades darker. The top portion of some of the lume on the dial has flaked off with age. The hands have been relumed to match the dial.

Bracelet: The 11 link Swiss rivet bracelet is excellent showing average stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a 1965 date code.

Accessories: None

Notes: As tropical as it gets. The deep glossy amber dial, the subtle lavender hues of the chocolatey bezel insert, the fat sharp bevels on the no crown guard case. A watch that's truly worth coming in on a Sunday to photograph and post up on the site for you all to enjoy.
