For the money the following stands out immensely:
- build quality is perceived to be much more robust notably in the bracelet and clasp. For $6k plus the 114060 feels the part better IMO.

- lume, walking into the house and I look down and see the glowing blue lume, not going to get that off a 10+ year old piece.

- I’ve grown to like the maxi dial - after coming from a “see from anywhere” dial/hand combo on a SMP (sword hands) the larger dial and even all things Maxi are quite nice.

I like the classic for it’s beautiful lines but greatly appreciate all the upgrades on the newer version. Being able to adjust the bracelet throughout the day is the greatest thing ever.

Here it is with a co worker’s 5512/5513 (not sure which reference)
Very nice! By the way, you can tell that's a 5513, as the 5512's list "Superlative Chronometer - Officially Certified" in two separate lines (hence the reference, 4 liner) on the dial under the water resistance rating. Either way, very nice!

Congrats!

Congratulations! Also love your Jones pic. He was a legend. Had the pleasure of doing business with George a few times.
