The Rolex Submariner 5512 Meters First is a highly sought-after vintage timepiece, cherished by collectors for its historical significance and exceptional design. This example boasts an original black dial with a stunning pumpkin patina on the indices, matched by original hands. The luminous material, believed to be zinc sulfide, was commonly applied in the 1960s before tritium became the standard in the following decade. The faded grey/blue “kissing 40” bezel insert adds to its charm, creating a unique aesthetic. The case is in excellent condition, featuring sharp lugs and edges. The included oyster bracelet is a later model, providing greater solidity than the original riveted versions, and it comes with the original 580 end links, specifically designed for Submariner models. The case reference, serial, and all numbers remain clearly visible, and the case back is stamped 1967. This watch has been professionally serviced by a certified watchmaker in August 2024 and keeps accurate time. It comes complete with the original 1960s “coffin” box and double papers, further enhancing its value as a rare and collectible piece. **Reference:** 5512 **Size:** 40mm **Year:** 1968 🎬 ⬇️ More Photos / Video below ⬇️ 📽️ 🏞️ [Photos/Video](https://imgur.com/a/2IAJzNI) ☑️ [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/Mfj5aLA) ✨ Condition: All original in very nice condition.
