Starting over - 5513 vs 14060M

[Aututto]

Hey everyone!

So, I'll keep this short, but I'm looking to start over. I currently have an engraved 114270 (purchased after never bonding to the 241270, too disproportionate) that I'm most likely going to off soon. My first Rolex was a 14060, I loved it, but ultimately sold it to fund an engagement ring. I planned to replace it but come wedding time, the explorer is what fit my budget. My wife was fond of the 214270 so I told myself it would be right, but the explorer I and I have just been fighting (both 39 and 36). I constantly find myself wanting that classic sub, so after much thought, I'm going to restart with a sub. I admire the explorer, but I want to add it to the collection later, when I truly WANT the explorer.

Quite honestly it does the whole "one watch" or "only watch" thing better than the sub, but alas, I need to follow through with the sub, I always look down and think "what if I had my sub back".

THAT SAID. I'm debating a freshened up 5513 service dial or a 14060M 4 line. The goal for the watch is to be a do it all for awhile. I want it to be the foundation of the collection. Go on vacations, hike, bike, surf, snowboard, camp. I want to be active with it and make memories (hence no original matte 5513's, don't want to ruin an original dial).

Which route would you go? I've somewhat considered a 114060 since their prices used are relatively close to a 4 liner 14060. But having lug holes is attractive for throwing on natos during outdoor activities.

Thanks guys! oh and happy valentines day
