Thanks! Given your high standards as represented by other references in your collection, I doubt it will be otherwise![emoji1]
Not quite right look on mesh, but better than the bond bracelet in my opinion. I think it might be time to sell the bond bracelet and purchase a proper bracelet for this one.
Back on its bracelet. Not the right rivet bracelet for the 5512 but it does the job sometime I'll find the right one that's not 2g
***sorry to assault u guys with so many photos of a single watch but she's my favorite! Wore it for an important function this evening...I think it also demonstrates to newer collectors you don't need to spend a lot of dough to have some pretty cool vintage watches...full and fair disclosure: all-in, this watch was >450 US bucks. I think it's a ton of bad a$$ vintage for that much (all else being equal)*** This is my favorite watch; it's one of those things where everything worked out better than expected. I purchased it sight unseen (not even a picture) with the promise that it had never been polished (turns out it was never serviced at all). But, once again, these little Swiss machines almost always impress....
Hot watch. The "pointy" crown guards seem to really carry a large premium for subs. Sergio: you've got a bad a$$ bunch of watches and I know you know your away around ...here it comes (lol ! ),,,do you feel like any pieces of this alpha watch aren't original (to this watch)? I'm focused on the hands and the bezel because they're almost perfect. Superstar watch - thank you for sharing !!
