Is this a good quality aftermarket 5512 dial?

It wouldn't work for a 5508 since the 5508 was rated 100m/330ft. It is correct for an early 5512 with the gilt printing, and the SWISS only at the bottom of the dial. The 200m=660ft in white is also ok, I believe. You might want to check the history of the the glossy finish, but I think it's ok. Of course a 60 year old dial may have well lost it's glossy finish by now. I do know that early 5512 dials didn't have the SCOC print often times so that part is ok. With a little bit of judicious aging, that could be a nice dial in a 5512.

It's an okay dial but anyone that's familiar with the look will spot it immediately.  The font spacing in OYSTER PERPETUAL and SUBMARINER are supposed to be non-proportional.  Compare it to this one.
