I am thinking of getting a ND and wondering the plus and minus of vintage 5513 vs newish 14060 or 14060m? Any help would be great.

Personally, I would go with the 5513....I love vintage.

Either way, you won't go wrong, they're both fantastic pieces!

Personal choice..

The 14060 gives you a faster beat movement and sapphire crystal........

The 5513 gives you the vintage warmth........

Depends on which comes along that is the best example for price..

Pricing, condition, and era would be the decision makers for me.

If a matt dial, the 5513 all day long. If it were a gloss dial I'd have to think 14060 given the more modern approach and the question of RSC service down the road.

Im a vintage slut....so 5513 all the way.

Either watches would be great to own and wear it just depends on whether you want new or vintage. BTW I own a !4060M non Cosc and love it!!!

vtsnowplow · 11 April 2010, 01:44 AM

The watch would compliment my F series SD.

alglez · 11 April 2010, 02:18 AM

14060 is better for everyday use. The plastic will scratch really easy.

I think I would go 5513, love that vintage.

rxgremlin · 11 April 2010, 06:19 AM

I think Mike summed it up well. Consider price and condition and go from there.

If the vintage sub has been fully serviced, good....if not....stick w/ the newer one..

Jason71 · 11 April 2010, 06:22 AM

Meters first 5513 with a Matte dial NO QUESTION would be be my 1st pick. However, you will pay a premium. My 2nd choice would be a D or Z-serial NON-COSC 14060M

Prince Tudor · 11 April 2010, 06:23 AM

If you're going to use it as an everyday watch, I'd say 14060M, with the updated mov't. If you plan on using your F serial SD most of the time, go with the 5513.

onkyo · 11 April 2010, 06:25 AM

Matte dial and no WG surrounds is the winner for me... so I would go for an early 5513.

Since you already have the ultimate beater (SD 16600) I would go for the 5513 if it has painted index's!

Then you hava a really good mix of vintage and modern!
