The 5508 occupies a specific market position. It is less famous than the 6538 and less structurally significant than the 5512, but it is the cleanest expression of the small-crown no-crown-guard Submariner in its most mature form. Collectors who value the slim early case shape over the later crown-guard profile pay close attention to this reference.
