Submariner Bevelled Edges
Hello,
I am looking for advice on whether all watch cases on a Submariner have the bevelled edges. Did the case changed when the 14060 replaced the 5513? |

14060 had a very subtle and sharp bevel.

The most pronounced (and beautiful, IMO) chamfers were on the earlier models; 50s/60s.
As they 'evolved' through the 70s/80s and beyond, they diminished in character until, now, they are bereft of any chamfer... or character.

 They were still quite pronounced in that generation, similar to my 16610 above. |
