·I had another look at this last week and it is a stunner (thought the case does blinds you with reflected light it's so polished)... but the seller remains unrealistic as to price - asking the equivalent of USD16k (compared to the nice example which came up on the forum here a few days ago for just over USD11k - albeit with a slightly later bezel insert - and was gone in a flash...)

I'm still struggling to understand the prices Rolex command given how relatively numerous they are (and few are in really nice condition) - so put hand in my pocket for a SM300 Big Triangle on a rare'ish bracelet with an EoA for less money...

I bought a mint unpolished 5512 back in the late 1980s for over 3k, a price I considered high at the time… Don‘t laugh. Around the same time I bought a badly polished 1675 for a tad under 2k. I wear the 1675 more often, but still enjoy both.
The rest of the story… after many years I have decided to vintage restore the 1675 case at LA Watchworks.

·It looks good, it has the authentic spirit of a vintage watch, the polishing of the case looks acceptable.
the only negative is that the tritium pearl does not have the luminous
