2 lines non COSC cleaner, and more original.
Mine is X serial 1991/1992 production, might be funding for a SD.
21k brand new? Good price.
COSC is just marketing gimmick.

I see, the dssd look ridiculously big on my wrist. so I hear that you sent your watch in for regular service?

If one were to exercise objectivity when buying a timepiece, most of the luxury brands can close shop already. It's all about wants and desires.

Well since watches can hardly be judged on function and good value alone, "aura of desirability" is as good a reason as any.  biggrin.gif

Yes regular service.
No love for dssd, big and thick, busy wordings on dial and capter ring.

For starters, be contented with what you have. Next, read the book. wink.gif

Ok enough about the philosophical digression, let's continue with watches.

I have the same 5600 stealth, bought as part of a pair (Baby-G for ladies version). Legibility is pretty good, in the dark you can always use the backlight smile.gif
