Hi All,
As I hunt for a matte 5513, i am looking at ALOT of watches.
A primary criteria for me are fat squared off crown guards.

Many 1675s I see have fat, squared and not overly polished crown guards

Many/most 5513s I see have thinner, more polished crown guards

I find this odd.
Perhaps subs were generally used harder over their life and polished more often vs. GMTs seeing lighter duty and fewer polishes?

Is this just me - or do you notice the same???
Thanks
Russ

Subs have different crown guards than GMT's, whereas GMT's have usually thinner cases.

It's definitely wider and squarer on the GMT 1675 as compared to the 5513/5513 subs. Here're mine:
