New vs Old (pics inside)
Hi there,

Here is a shot of my 1970 5513 and my 2014 SD4K side by side.

Good to know that Rolex keeps the vintage spirit into a new watch. That's the main reason why I bought the SD4K.

Let's share some pics if you have some similar or close references side by side!

Cheers, Antoine

many thanks - I love it, too - the bezel is the cherry on the cake, but the perfect dial and hands, and unpolished case all combine for a winner!

No fair! I don't have any modern Rolex anymore...

Maybe 120 of you can chip in $100 each and buy me a Deepsea D-Blue (with collector's book please...)!
