Submariner with crownguards reference 5512 & 5513!

It was for a long time in production and in many different versions. I focused on 5512/3 this afternoon and as some came on the table, the 'simple' design of this toolwatch makes it very addictive to me.
I had to make a picture and while it, the same questions spinned in my head: When is enough, enough??.......








probably never

Rgrds.philipp

STUNNING DISPLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you deserve bragging rights with this one!

That's a very nice theme for a Collection

Nice pictures Philipp, I feel inspired!!

MW

He set them all on the same time. You didn't

Not the whole MW Submariner Armada, lot's of interesting story's in those boxes..
LOL Mike! I think we both have the same problem

See you soon, and don't forget last years suggestion of K, don't take the same ones as you did last year....

Best Philipp

No one can top you two anyway! Maybe you should compare the size of your.... to see who wins (sorry for that)

Anyway, you're both crazy, but I like crazy... Here in Holland we say that one can fill canals with ordinary people so I'm glad there's still a few colorful people around

See you soon,D

That makes the rest of us just a "little crazy". I'm feeling better about myself now.

you spotted that service tropic 39 in the middle right away, didn't you
i think you have a wonderful 'theme' in your collection, one i'm very jealous about!

best P.

what time is it???

Beautiful collectionS

are you ready? catalogues and paddles at the ready...cash from the bank accounted for...a buyers market..ready set go.. lol.

You've to check out the 2 serviced dialed Big Crown (6200& 6538) when wee read the condition rapports carefully, 1 x serviced Military
and one 6263 PN with Rolex service papers.

Now look closely at the service papers of the PN, they say: '...Dial poor, blistered, peeled..' and now look back to the picture,
it's nice and crisp, tata ....and that for only 837,97,= LOL!

hopefully we might find a gem at a good price...one will never know..

or don't meantion it. write for instance about the auction vieuwing, make some detailed scans (by the way, do you have a camera you can use your own?) so that's worthwhile to have a look again on your blog. That will Imho make it worthwhile meantioning. I've look 2-3 times on it since you've it online, it's still the same allthough I've seen you here on VRF a lot, so what's up, where the passion? I think to know that you've learned something new in the meanwhile you could share...

As you call me your friend, I might say that

best to you,
yours, Philipp

Now I know why you needed that big bag of multi-color Nato straps you got in Munich LOL!

S-C-I-E-N-T-I-S-T!



Love it Philipp, and yes, I'm packing my bag of Seikos ready for travel!

Must be better than getting "arrested" twice by Dutch Customs last year for "smuggling" Rolex watches....

Please leave you Seiko's at home Mike, take the TGV, they don't use X-ray

Best to you!

Rgrds.Philipp

if you don't want to see my Seikos, what do you want to see?

.

I lie awake at night worrying over these things which are obviously more important than matters of life & death...

...you astonish me day by day!!!
and your classification of
sub dials is great and a good
reference for collectors.
Happy to be your friend!
Lorenzo

.

What's this??? Who has the most submariners in the grave yard competition??
I feel you are both lacking something in your none Rolex forum lives.....
Keep up the good work though guys It is a feast for the eyes...
M.

i just can't do it. Unless there is something completely unique....about it...I can't duplicate....it freaks me out...

collector. What a collection. I can see from all your posts and pictures of Rolex watches you are a very, very, very, passionate collector. The best to you.

Lovely collection there my friend.
Interesting to see the variation details though

nt

...but I get by...






Awesome Subs, gents--some serious metal on the table here today!
Best,
T.

..no COMEX .. ?

Nice set, P ! I presume you have a favorite ? Let me guess: first series 5512 after the 6538/5510 ?

Cheers,
mk

This is also only a part of your 5512/5513 package... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Crazy passionado.... it's hard to keep friends with you
It makes one greedy and frustated!


LOOOOL!

What a ride my friend... and fun. With the next high-light coming up!

Maybe we can do a line-up then... with all variations next in line...


Great post!

ANd yes ... the 5512/13 is such a cool reference!


Bernhard

Off course I'll help you, probably everybody will. That will be a picture NOT to forget, looking forward to that!!

good idea, again
Philipp

cant eblive you did the times

Regards Philipp

...I can recognize service Tropics and domed originals but also one or two with high "sides" protruding from the bezel a bit...



...and one very high sided almost chimney Tropic--a 39 maybe?



Anyway, I am working on a bit of a theory about the possibility of different dome shapes of vintage Tropic 19, so maybe you can tell me which xtals you have mounted on these watches and their origin if you happen to know...when you get a minute between all your other excellent research, of course!
Best regards & congrats again on such a stupendous collection,
Tom

P.S. That high sided Tropic 19(?) is what I have on my 5513 and it caused some controversy when I first posted it several years ago...



...still not 100% sure of it but I like it! FYI, it was sourced from Australia.

you're missing one?
[IMG][/IMG]

Don't worry, I know i'm missing quite some variations but I also know that I'm working on it

Rgrds.P

I am sure it is only a matter of time before your set becomes more complete.

Congrats on an amazing collection.

.

Mind you, I think all collectomaniacs have it to some degree or other!

Well done on this fine line up Phillip. My favorite is the 3,6,9 dial .. They are amazing!

Besties indeed,

Steevie Pee

But i cant help my self not using this scan as my desktop background..

what an amazing scan of a unique collection!!!!!!!!

best regards

Dana

your 'love' is also in there
definitly a keeper to me!

thanks again, rgrds.P

they are even better. I am lucky to have seen most of them live. I especially love the SYL with underline. That has to be one of the coolest watches on the planet.
I know i have bothered you to death to sell it to me, and I know now how ridiculous I must have sounded LOL.

Enjoy and see you soon!

Martijn

and still don't know what to do... What do you think Martijn? should I do it?

Edit: for picture

just give it to me. I hear charity really makes people feel good about themselves.

No really, just don't.

Martijn

I keep it, only a nice crisp 6200 can temp me

now you got me thinking about a 5512 again. That was my first love in Rolex world.
My wife will probably not thank you
