I was never a fan of the sub until I first saw a no-date sub (which happened to be a 5513). Went to delve a little deeper and I settled between 5513 and 14060 for the following reason:
  1. I like the patina that develops on the hour markers and the hands of a vintage sub.
  2. I still can't decide whether I prefer a glossy or matte dial. I think this will eventually be the main determinant of which model I end up going for (assuming I can find both models in decent condition).
  3. Going anything earlier than 5513 is beyond my budget.
  4. Going for anything later than 14060 means tritium was no longer used and hence, no patina.


Thanks for these! Will check them out.
