Raven Watches Vintage 42mm
If you like vintage diver designs, specifically the early days of the Rolex Submariner, but not current vintage diver prices, Raven Watches has something you should see. The company, part of STEVRAL who also owns Benarus, recently release their new Raven Vintage 42mm. The name sets up what you are getting right away: vintage design cues in a modern, 42mm case. Some of the hard to find Rolex Submariners are the early non-crown guard models (6536 & 6538) and the military models with ?sword hands (5513 & 5517). The Raven Vintage 42mm combines elements from these ?models into this release.The case size of the Raven Vintage 42mm is clear in the title, with the lug-to-lug length coming in at a reasonable 50mm.

Buying Advice
So a few years ago my grandfather passed me his 1962 Tudor sub from his EOD days. I felt so blessed to have that and enjoy wearing it so much that I decided to do the same if I had a son. Well last week I found out I was having a son, so I convinced the wife to let me shop. I have a few options that I'd love some advice on. The intention is to pass down this watch and I'd like a close to the Tudor as I can afford with some modern conveniences like a sapphire crystal. So I came across the 14060 as the closed modern relative to the Tudor I have. Should I:1) Get a new ceramic sub even though I'm not a 100% fan of the fit and bezel2) Get the newest/nicest 14060 I can find to take advantages of the modern conveniences and vintage look3) Seek out the newest/nicest 14060 with tritium so it can patina like my Tudor and most of the wear will be from meSo if you were in my shoes what would you do?

The Definitive Ceramic Submariner Date vs No-Date Thread (116610 vs 114060)
Although the cleanliness of the dial and lack of a cyclops will always be a selling point for the ND sub, I think that most people will still prefer a date. Based on what I've seen, the resale values are higher for the 116610 models. Go ahead and post your opinion. This will be my first poll thread.
