Early 60s  RARE Silver Depth Rating Tropical Submariner 5512

Well preserved and Uber Rare 5512 tropical brown Chaper Ring Pointy Crown Guard  submariner.  The silver text depth rating was only made for one year and is one of the rarest.  The dial has turned from black to brown with a "wabisabi" presence - Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that celebrates imperfection, impermanence, and the beauty of the natural and the incomplete. It is rooted in Zen Buddhism and reflects a worldview that values simplicity, humility, and an appreciation for the ephemeral and imperfect aspects of life and objects.  Furthermore, The case appears to be untouched and the reference ands serial are fully visible. The insert is a skinny kissing4 which I don't think we have ever seen another one of this variant not to mention it has turned purple. The bracelet is the original 6636 stretch rivet band in excellent condition fully linked. The movement was serviced in the past and running at COSC
