Bart Simpson vs Neat Font
Hello everyone,
Which one would you keep? Bart Simpson or a Neat Font? Got both but need to raise some cash. I'm undecided. Thank you! Cheers |

Whichever is more appealing based on condition, etc. And whichever you like better, gilt vs matte, 5513 vs 5512. I don't generally get too excited over the silly nicknames, it's a personal choice.

If equal condition, I’d keep the gilt dial.

I'm not at home but found a pic of the 5512 (neat font) on the web and here is the 5513 gilt Bart Simpson.

Agree with the above - I would chose the gilt dial, all else being equal.

I like both. But it's clear the gilt one is "sexier"
In terms of rarity, they both are.. |

Hahaha I hate nicknames also but is like faster for people to get an image in their minds of the watch.
Basically is a 5513 gilt vs matte 5512 |

To my eyes, the hands on the gilt watch look curved. With 1966 serial numbers, should they not still be flat?
I agree with the others-IF all other things are equal, keep the gilt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The 5512 neat fonts is far rarer and in this case, in better shape

Late gilt on 66 are ok with curved hands. Transitional period. If a gilt example is original and well preserved, no contest of it being the one to keep over a matte 5512 in comparable condition. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sell an organ, or go on the game (but don't become a YouTuber... that's just a step too far) my advice !
