By Paul Altieri
This 5512 has aged beautifully over the years. From the gorgeous yellow lume to the faded ghost bezel this thing checks all the boxes. In addition to the bezel fading to a grey color that can look blueish/lavender in certain lights the font is thicker and collectors refer to these as "fat font" bezels. One neat characteristic of the bezel is that the four and zero in "40" are actually touching and collectors refer to this as a "Kissing 40." This is a great opportunity to add a nicely aged Submariner to the collection and we can almost guarantee you wont find another exactly like this one!
