I’m with those who think the 5 digit models have a certain charm about them. It’s hard to put your finger on, the proportions on all front of the watch seem perfectly judged.

I am having an opposite reaction,
Finally got the ceramic Pepsi and I have been wearing my 5 digits more than I have in years. Pepsi just sits there... I have a feeling it’s not going to last in my collection.

I truly don't understand how people can write the oyster bracelet on the 14060 (and every other 5 digit watch) is average. Either I haven't experienced the best bracelet ever but I truly don't see how this one is average.

So what I'm getting from this is buy a 5-digit head only and put the saved cash toward a modern bracelet, or rubber or nato? Anyone gone that route?

I think that
You liked both your five digit Sub and non date Sub, but wanted to have a new Pepsi. I assume that you paid premium for it. Have you started thinking about having paid too much for your Pepsi at the expense of your two five digit Subs. Pepsi is extremely well done watch with all latest technology as you mentioned as to comes its bracelet, clasp and so on. Whether it is worth of the price you paid for it only you know.

You sounds like someone who really needs to take a look at Tudors BB58

To me, most of the 5 digit models (and some 6 digit models for that matter) still play on the whole notion of the subdued gentleman. Simple, sly and elegant. I know, it's all in my head, but that's how I look at them.

For the record I've got the new yachtmaster 40 with the blue dial and love it - traded my SD43 for that one but that's a whole nother long story lol. I've tried a couple of tudors in my day (BB58 and pelagos) and both of them I had issues with the clasp that were resolved easily but left a bad taste in my mouth.
