	Four dial-text layouts surface:		Four dial-text layouts surface:

	* '''Two-line~~''' (standard):~~ "SUBMARINER" + depth rating. ~~The dominant configuration.~~		The standard two-line dial pairs "SUBMARINER" with the depth rating and accounts for most examples. Four-line OCC dials add "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED CHRONOMETER" across two extra lines, paired with the chronometer-rated movement — the Sotheby's 2018 case-22x,xxx example is one anchor, and the configuration is rare relative to two-line. Four-line SCOC dials carry the later "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" wording, the same change that parallels the 5508/5512 transition; both are four-line dials, only the wording differs. A three-line dial, transitional between the two- and four-line layouts, is documented but rare.
	* '''Four-line OCC~~''': adds~~ "OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED CHRONOMETER" on two extra lines, paired with the chronometer-rated movement~~. The~~ Sotheby's 2018 case-22x,xxx ~~OCC~~ example is one anchor; rare relative to two-line.
	* '''Four-line SCOC~~''':~~ "SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED" wording ~~on later production —~~ same ~~wording~~ change parallels the 5508 / 5512 transition~~. Both~~ are four-line dials, the wording differs.
	* '''Three-line~~''':~~ transitional between two-~~line~~ and four-line~~. Documented~~ but rare.

	An "invert" dial variant has been documented in collector forum sources, where the dial text reverses the standard layout. Surviving examples are extremely scarce; a rare sub-variant without major-house corroboration.

	The Sotheby's 2018 NY result — 11× over low estimate — is the world record for any small-crown Submariner and reset the modern collector market for the reference. Small-crown Submariners had previously traded in the USD 100,000-150,000 band; the Sotheby's result shifted the ceiling. Standard chronometer-rated four-line examples in unpolished condition cluster at the upper-middle of the modern market; non-chronometer two-line examples sit slightly below. The Phillips XVIII 2021 Red Depth lot sets the high estimate for the dating-anchor variant.
