First vintage sub... what's next?

Now that I've found a mk1 red sub, what's next to hunt for? I'd like to keep it under 15k budget.

Any recommendations? 5512?

Thanks

Under 15k......hmmmm......a nice Gilt 1675 would be just perfect.

I'll agree with a gilt 1675. Perfect pair.

Interesting... How do I ensure a gilt dial? Any particular serial range?

Too many. Lol 1803, 1655, 1665, etc. but 1675 is awesome and a perfect match as suggested. Here is my gilt for UR consideration.

It's reasonable for TT. It's just that with most rolex SS command better price.

U might also consider a Daytona which can be both sportive and dressy, but no vintage since those would most likely fall outside UR budget.
