16600 or vintage sub.

Hi guys , im looking for my next watch and cant decide ..
I already own a 116520,116610 and a speedmaster .
I can't really decide what to get for my next .
I must confess that I love the domed plexi and the vintage look on a 5513 .
It's also a great watch on a vintage strap.
Then again some people says the 16600 is something people want and also a good investment .

I'll be grateful if you guys help !

Best regards MT

No watch is a good investment unless it is very rare & you buy at under market price. You should buy whatever sings to you.

Where are the pics of the 5513? If it's a maxi matte dial in good shape then that would be a no brainer for me

Have not found a 5513 yet just got an offer for the SD!
If I go for the 5513 what things should I look for ?

Best

Keep in mind an example such as the one Above is going to be considerably more than a 16600

I'm going to be of no help at all.
As the owner of both, the SD is the perfect all rounder - my daily beater while the 5513 is an entirely different watch all together worn when it is less likely to be bruised

You are going to have to buy both.

You buy for pure joy and ownership......what you like best.
If it were me......5513 wins. If you can find a MKI Maxi Dial = BONUS CITY!
Good luck in your search!

You own a modern sub. Now go Vintage.
