I also love and prefer the teeth on my 14060m, I just want to say, there are more vintage Subs than only 'the Sub' and the bezel design on this case is not a Tudor thing or BB-thing.
Makes sense. Unlike most here, I don't care to be a Rolex/Tudor historian, nor do I care if they attempt to pay homage to their older watches (like you cited, 7922 and 6204). I'm making a statement about the entire BB line; visually, the coin-edge bezel just doesn't look nearly as good as the bezel on Rolex subs of the last 30, 40 years. To me, it really takes away from the overall look.
