Original dial is in mint condition with butternut patina. Original tritium handset matches perfectly. Dial is a seldom seen variation with two colors of text, the Rolex logo and crown in gold, while the chronometer rating text in white.

NOTES:
An excellent example of an unpolished 5512 with a seldom seen dial variation featuring two colors of text, perhaps serving as a transitional dial during the period Rolex switched from gilt to matte dials.
