I´m happy to know you like the old Sub 5512. It has a lot of character no doubt.
Agree with you that Omega offers some great watches within it´s present line of Planet Ocean divers and of course their movements are much improved over the old movements of these first series. But Anyway I find something special and more connected with the old models they are inspired and I like this older model very much.
(May be that it was worn by James Bond in "Quantum of Solace" the fact that adds to its charm!! Lol! )
Also agree with your comments about the Explorer. It is my GADA watch: very under the radar but classy and a tough and accurate timepiece. You are right: the Explorer spirit is quite special both vintage and modern.
You have a wonderful example of the vintage Explorer 6610. I also own a 6610 and a 1016 and I tell you that I like the vintage models more than the modern versions but I don´t feel comfortable to risk them in a daily wearing so I prefer the newer model for this kind of use.
Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend. Abel
