Good grief Edward!!!thumbsup.gif  Wow!

This is a very special piece....would love to hear more about this one!!!  Is this a long standing piece in your collection or a newby!!!

Very nice!!!!bravo.gif


I have been "off" watches for years...
I inherited a lot of beautiful pieces, almost all of which were stolen.
Got the fever again... I traded a Cartier minute repeater pocket watch for this...I never the pocket watch any more... This 5508 has NOS "service" parts, or it would have been out of my trading range...
I also looked at a lovely 6542. I like the 5508, it's a '62 production, same as me!
My mother always wore a Sub, and I've had them in the past... This one is a daily luxury I am very grateful for!
