I would do as Adam said, go for the 5513, that is a true vintage watch with the plexi ect,....five digits are not vintage IMO, just the previous modern version if that makes any sense?
There's definitive arguments over what is vintage vs not vintage ....as a 5513 was produced into 1990. So would a glossy dial, WG surrounds dial '88-'89, 5513 be considered a vintage watch, vs a '79-'83, matte dial, tritium dial, 16800 not being vintage? Many opinions on this subject
