Absolutely! Way tougher! The meteorite is already showing some rust spots ( it's pretty much just a hunk of iron with a little nickel) these SS babies shouldn't be rusting anytime soon!

I still haven't taken a decent shot of my 16800 so I use the seller's, ebruner. Some will say this isn't vintage but I think a matte dial qualifies.



And my 9411.

Well, I LOVE THEM!











This 14060 is not quite vintage but classic!
