How much???

I have been seriously thinking of purchasing a non date Sub...

The 5513 has always been my favorite non date model, but I thought maybe I'd save some money and get a nice 14060 or 14060M???

I have owned one in the past and happen to like them very much....

And then I went looking.......

I was astounded to see how expensive they've gotten......And realized that for not to much more, I could pick up a 5513....

It's all madness....

They have gone up quite a bit! I would go for a 5513 if it were me.

You can find a feet first 5513 for $3500 and up for a head only, I saw a Meters first 5513 head only sell last week for $3850.00

2 line 14060m can be had for $3500-4000
4 line 14060m are 4k plus

Do you like maxi plots? Or serif plots?
Depth rating in top or below submariner? I'd go fir another 5513 in a heartbeat.
Just traded my 14060.

I wish I'd had that mindset along about 1982 when I bought my 5513

If it was me. I would still pursue the 14060/M as the lume will work, it has the saphire crystal and you won't cry if it gets dinged up

Depends on how you will be wearing it. I have the 14060 for a daily beater that I don't worry about. The lume is a plus.

Clay, I have noticed the price of a earlier series 14060/M has come down compared to 6 months ago.

These were sitting around the high $4k to low $5k mark. Admittadly these were probably close to new or BNIB. Still for a no date complication I could not justify the cost.

Also there may have been rumors that this model was going to be discontinued, and a little price spike for good measure...

Good hunting
