Finally did it

After literal years of waffling, missed opportunities and just general indecision, I finally went ahead and pulled the trigger. I should have bought it five years ago when it could have been had for far less but I finally bit the bullet and I couldn’t be happier. It may not be much but it’s mine and I’m super excited about it! It’s an N serial with the tritium dial; pictures don’t do the patina justice!

Thanks! I believe the N serial puts it in 1991

Haha. I was so distracted by how nice it was that I didn't see that in your original post. You did good! I really like this piece.

Beauty. No regrets. Only the present matters in decisions like these.

Congrats! You'll make up for time lost in the time to come on that one. I let my 14060 go for a new 114060. I've been sorry that I let it go but recently found another one that's here for keeps. I really appreciate the 5 digit Sub now more than ever. Enjoy that Beauty for a long time to come!!...

Congrats. But no time to lose, let us help you plan for the next watch. I'm thinking a Daytona or a Patek.

You have it. The One. "Shaken not Stirred". The Classic. No Eye, No Knobs, No date, No Nothing. The Watch. I have owned a 5513 since 1966 and love it. Too Basic for some. Enjoy yours to the Max. Best from Rocketman at Pad 39A.
