Description

ROLEX - Submariner 5517/0 stainless steel, waterproof to a depth of 200 metres (660 feet). It needs a review.

This model was created for the British army in 1976/77, which takes on this specific reference becoming an autonomous model, with no further links with the Submariner 5513.
Characterized by the dial already used on the double reference 5513/17, the gladius spheres and the use of the ring with full graduation.
Rolex sends these particular watches exclusively to its English office, located at Bexley, which will deliver them to the British army and navy.
For the specific reference and the presence of the fully graduated ring nut insert it is considered the military Rolex Submariner par excellence and the one with the greatest collector value.
More information
Modello realizzato per l’esercito britannico nel 1976/77, che assume questa referenza specifica diventando un modello autonomo, senza più legami con il Submariner 5513. Caratterizzato dal quadrante già impiegato sulla doppia referenza 5513/17 , le sfere “a gladio” e l’impiego della ghiera con graduazione completa. Rolex invia questi particolari orologi esclusivamente alla propria sede inglese, situata a Bexley, che provvede a consegnarli all’esercito e alla marina britannica. Per la referenza specifica e la presenza dell’inserto ghiera completamente graduato è considerato il Rolex Submariner militare per eccellenza e quello con il maggiore valore collezionistico.
