VERSUS: Submariners Vintage and Modern

Fifth edition of the "VERSUS" post/picture. What is "VERSUS"? Well, I thought it would be fun to compare two watches (and only those two watches) and discuss pros/cons by outlining the differences and getting folks' ideas/thoughts/opinions on TRF. We got folks here that have been collecting and studying these things for decades all the way to those who are just starting to venture into the crazy world of Rolex (and everyone in between). Therefore, it would be fun and educational!

For this edition, we have a vintage v. modern showdown with the iconic Submariner. A Submariner 5513 and a Submariner 114060.

Some obvious things:

Modern v. vintage
Matte dial v. glossy dial
Tritium v. Luminova
Case proportions
Insert: metal v. ceramic

Which do you prefer and why?
