Some questions on this 5513 gloss dial.

So whilst researching about vintage like a mad man, I have found it hard to catch up as there are many confusions, many variants, many things to consider basically.

Now I would like to ask about this specific 5513 that is is a circa 1986 with a glossy dial.
I recently started to like the matte dials much more, and lost interest in trying to find a birth year watch since they were all using Gloss by then. (I am a 1990 born).

After seeing this beautiful example. I have decided that it wouldn't be the worst thing if I could find a birth year that aged similar to this. The glossy dial actually blends it and looks very nice I think.
Were there ever different variants (maxi vs regular) on the glossy dial?

At the same time, I am trying to debate whether I would best find a nice matte dial which definitely are more aesthetically example over a gloss just because it is a birth year. Plus side of a gloss dial is obviously that it is more affordable. Will be harder to find no doubt.
There simply is no winning with vintage!

On a side note. I would like to ask of any book on subarminers that come handy when looking for information.
Have heard of the Guido Mondani. Can anyone recommend it?

Thanks guys!

I've never considered glossy or WG surrounds, but that looks stunning!
