That's awesome. I love a good curveball. Let the obsession grow...

I personally prefer the dome on the 1680 as some members have done here.
Gilt

Good luck on the hunt!

Wore my 5513 Pre Comex last night...


Also don't rule out a 1016 explorer!

I totally agree. I've always been a huge fan of the explorers.

Las dos piezas que quieres, son preciosas, yo me inclino por la sencillez y limpieza del 5513,.. mira el mio, MK IV





simplemente brutal, para mi estan subiendo de precio ademas, hace unos años, con 4-5K los encontrabas, ahora estan mas cerca de los 10k.

I got the 1680 first, then the 5513. The 5513 gets more wrist time.

Don't mean to hijack the thread - but WOW! Adam, how did you find a 5513 with original gilt hands?

These are both from Jacek @ HQ Milton. This would be a good source for the OP too.

Why go big and go for a 5512? Same look with the crown guards, less common than the 5513 and 1680, and you can get an early one with the cleaner two line dial like the 5513's!

Well now we're talking big bucks - more like DRSD bucks than Red Sub bucks.

If you wanted red - go seadweller

But between 5513 and 1680 I prefer 5513

Good call on the Sea Dweller. Very clean, which I why I'm drawn to the 5513 I suppose. Thanks!

I was just reading about that very thing this morning. This is quite the rabbit hole...
