BoomerSooner · 23 April 2017, 11:13 PM

1016

Nicholas Bedworth · 25 April 2017, 06:35 PM

@ Boomer... beautiful pair of watches.

Nicholas Bedworth · 25 April 2017, 06:37 PM

@Bob K... Yup, you go it correctly... :)

zapokee · 25 April 2017, 08:06 PM

1016 for me.

Where are we at count-wise? Should have made a poll of this...

It's actually REALLY close. Here's the tally so far:

5513: 12
1016: 11

1016 for me! Final answer!!

1016 for me, a bit less common watch in my opinion.

SconnieBT · 10 May 2017, 02:08 PM

1016 is timeless, understated, and sophisticated. Gets my vote.

visualplane · 10 May 2017, 02:20 PM

I have a 6" wrist so 1016 for me.

5513 due to larger size

Nikita70 · 10 May 2017, 10:18 PM

5513. Didn't Steve McQueen wear one? He was the King of Cool, after all.
I'm wanting a vintage Sub. I do like the 1016 but if I had to choose it'd be the 5513.

Sunny Arizona · 10 May 2017, 10:27 PM

I think their are fewer 1016s...that's my choice.

(...and "BOTH" is not an option although obviously ideal!)

What most (if not all) of us know:

Both are time-only references.
Similar price points (assuming similar condition and no exceptional traits like rare dial configurations).
Both are iconic.

Happy Friday all.

5513 for me,

Drakoprice · 10 May 2017, 11:51 PM

1016 all day long - very nearly the perfect watch. (I would prefer the coronet at the 12 o'clock position like the Japanese edition of the 116000).

This is tough, I've been a Sub/GMT guy for a few years now and my 5513 is the jewel of my collection, but I recently aquired a modified OP "blue explorer" and I'm now smitten with the 36mm case and super legible dial. I think a 1016 is next on my list to round out the iconic trio 5513/1675/1016. As for which one I'd choose, for the moment it's still 5513 but it may well start to tip toward the explorer soon.

bazamu · 11 May 2017, 01:41 AM

1016 for me! Can't get enough of mine.

1675-David · 11 May 2017, 02:24 AM

1016 for the simple reason it's about 10 times cooler than the 5513!
