Always the same old 5513 with the service dial from 1989! A recent one with its hurt grand daughter! Ouch!
And some nice wear on that Tudor!
... as well as the modern ceramic ones and though accepting that the new ones are technically much improved they lack (for my personal taste) the charm and coolness of those oldies which I enjoy so much wearing. You have perfectly captured in your shot those sexy lug bevels (which the modern versions regrettably lack) and that adorable domed plexi. Keep enjoying yours so much my friend! Best cordial regards, Abel
My 5513 runs as smoothly as any new Submariner and Co., so, as far as I can tell and apart from the bracelet clasp and the water resistance, technical improvements are not a reason to prefer the new models to a good, old, charming 5513! My best regards, Simone
Abrazos mi querido amigo!! Abel
