Snowflake or Spider?

So the 7021 is out and I swear no more polls this week. For the same price, a spider 5513 on bracelet, or a snowflake 9411/0 head only?

I still vote for the snowflake.
Harder to get a good example right now. A nice 5513 are everywhere so you can always get one later.
Both are awesome watches so you can't go wrong either way.

Really? Even for the same price? I voted for the 5513 too and think I made up my mind on it.

Ironically, your "every collection needs a 5513" comment is what sold me! :)

My vote was assuming that you had neither in your current collection. However, if you already have a Sub lurking somewhere, then I would change my vote

Of all the poor quality or age related vintage Rolex variations I find the spider web dial the least interesting.

For 400 you could add a 78360 to the 9411. Great watch!

Tricky one. If the 5513 has a nice case & bracelet then even with the spider dial it's worth more....and you could swap the dial pretty easy.

A really nice Tudor Sub Snowflake is a nicer watch though imho
