: Having seen Peters lovely 5513 that he posted a few weeks ago -

: I've had a bee in my bonnet about getting one - I've never owned a
: Rolex before, and never properly handled a Sub.

: Cut a long story short, this week I received a matt dial 16800,
: this is the 'transitional' one that has the older school dial,
: but with the sapphire crystal & cyclops. I know a lot of
: people don't like the cyclops, but I've always like it in photos
: I've seen.. kinda quirky.

: Anyway, I got it, and it was nice, I really liked it, but.. well, I
: was a little underwhelmed.. it wasn't as special as I thought it
: would be. I appreciate it for what it is, but it didn't make me
: smile (like my Monnin does), if that makes sense. Oddly, after
: wearing it for a day (I thought I would bond with it & give
: it a chance), the cyclops became annoying, I can see why many
: aren't keen. I gave it a fair chance, but the next morning, I
: sold it to a friend of mine.

: So, I don't know where I stand now, maybe a 5513 like Peters (see
: link above) would be a much better match for me. Plus, I
: actually like the white gold surrounds on the hour indices,
: which goes against the grain - I've read that the non 'WGS' are
: more sought after, but I think they brighten up the dial and
: offer that lovely look when the light catches them (like Peters
: photo), especially with that creamy lume.

: So, should I try a 5513? Does anyone else have a dislike for one
: Sub model and but love another?

: Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I think it's like that with lots of watches though dare I say certain heuers as well!
They look fantastic in the pictures and you have the excitement of landing one putting it on and thinking oh is that it!
It's a case of trying and sometimes wearing them for a bit on different straps combinations!
I have tried lots of the sports models and do not find the bigger ones very comfortable!
As Bono said I still haven't found what I am looking for! I have recently aquired a 68 AKD which is only 34MM and lovely!
Enjoy the search/hunt!
