Hiya Eric,

Thanks a lot for your explanations. I can well imagine that money was a considerable issue when acquiring a bunch of watches - how many pieces are we talking about?

From the look of the two different watches I gathered that the Submariner would be a lot easier to handle. In fact, the Casio seems to me a lot of fiddling about . But of course you are absolutely right, that they are not watch collectors.
However, the Submariner looks just fantastic!

Hi Theo,

The M.N. issued circa 100 Rolex 5513 in four batches between 1968 & 1975. Maybe only 50 are left today.

The M.N. issued circa 250 Casio in 1997/1998. They were real action watches:
