For people who like a vintage feel, the early 5 Digit models had beautiful Matte Dials and those cool Open 6 Date Wheels...

And what could be more beautiful then a Gloss dial with Tritium Markers that has aged to a soft off-white or amber Patina...

The metal used for the cases was upgraded as were the movements...

And for those who like nice white markers and hands as well as a "glow", Luminova was introduced...

On average, a beautiful example can be had for much less then a New Modern watch or an acrylic topped Vintage piece...

And they retain that Classic case size and shape of the past...

And with true Vintage pieces getting more and more expensive and the NEW 6 Digit models moving farther and farther away from that "classic" Rolex styling, the 5 Digit references are becoming even more relevant then ever...

No No No my friends, the 5 Digits models are the perfect blending of yesterday and today, classics one and all...

And while there is nothing what so ever wrong with the 4 or 6 digit references...

And if you've not owned a 5 digit model, you are missing a treat...

^^ GREAT post ^^
