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!


Thanks for the detail Edward!!!

That 5508 is gorgeous...my love.gif...and SO very cool to have the same production year as yourself...got to love that!  Very nice sentiment too knowing that your mother always wore a Sub.

A daily luxury to be very grateful for...for sure! thumbsup.gif

Thanks again for the detail Edward...and by all means, enjoy that one to the fullest!!!!
