How much is the Rolex Submariner 5512 worth?
Rolex Submariner 5512
An iconic model within Rolex’s archives, the Submariner 5512 was in production from 1959 until the late 1970s. During its 20-year production run, the Submariner 5512 underwent several enhancements such as modifications to the crown guards, caliber changes, and dial updates. Today, there’s a robust market for the Submariner 5512 among vintage Rolex watch collectors and as a result, their values are on the rise. However, there is a myriad of factors that determine the current value of the Submariner 5512.http://www.watchesyo.co/rolex-submariner-replicas-1_144.html
The Evolution of the Submariner 5512
To better understand the value of the Submariner 5512, we have to look at how the model differed over the course of its history. Take for example the crown guards. When the model first came out it had square crown guards, followed by pointed crown guards and eventually the rounder crown guards we’re now familiar with.
The dials of the 5512 also evolved over its manufacturing run. Early models of the Submariner 5512 were equipped with non-chronometer certified movements, therefore did not include the ubiquitous “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” text on the dial. These versions are referred to two-liner Submariner 5512 since their glossy black dials only have two lines of (gilt) text. Once the Submariner 5512 was outfitted with chronometer-rated Caliber 1560 (and later the Caliber 1570), the dial then became a four-liner Submariner 5512 because it included the SCOC designation. The four liner editions were first available with glossy dials with gilt text, followed by matte black dials with whited printed text.
