Hard choice between the 1680 and 5513, I would throw a dice as I couldn't make my mind up between these icons.

I'm leaning toward 5512/3. I also looked at a new one tonight at an AD. $6,300! Price okay, but lacks the soul of a matte black, no white metal surrounds-dial.
Not to be too smart-alecky, but have you considered a winder? The non-quick set thing becomes moot with one. My 1680 and 1675 are both worn in rotation with other watches and it is hardly ever a problem. My last winder was around 50 bucks, holds two watches, and works great. You don't even have to spends ton on one to get a decent job that works, IMHO.

Had one. Felt I was putting unnecessary wear on the watch. The 1570 is the first and only movement I have ever had without a quick set date of some sort. It may be time to rethink the whole winder thing.
