Just got it today!
I just received my 14060M today. I got it to go along with my Sub C because I couldn't bring myself to wear the Sub C to work for fear of damaging it, as I work with machine tools. Now that I'm looking at this watch, I'm not so sure I can wear it either. We'll see what happens in the morning.

Very nice duo (especially the 14060M)...
For rough, and even rougher, duties these two support my 14060M:

Great combination..best of both worlds. I am half hartedly looking for a " well loved" 14060 to wear as my beater watch however they just don't seem to come up very often in well worn but serviceable condition.
Maybe an Invecta homage for work???

I go no watch no ring when I am in the shop to make a part, while it's rare for me these days I still do it from habit.....that's how I learned back in college.
Great pieces, enjoy both.

Great advice, I think this is what I'm going to do. I totally intended to wear the 14060M for work but then thought wouldn't the ceramic hold up better and be less prone to little dings and dents? I don't think that I would really "smash" it. Haven't done that to any watch yet. So, anyway, I wore the Sub C this morning. Last night, my son told me he could really get into the 14060. I still have to think about this.

In my opinion you would be safer without a watch if your work has anything to do with machinery.

Congrats! Great combination!
I've been contemplating the 14060M since the day I received my Subc. Similar reasons, but not for work. I'm just a computer geek threaten by carpal tunnel and the occasional paper cut at the printer. I want it more for weekend wear. Something I can take on vacation (beach, skiing, golf, Disney, etc) or simply swim in a pool when it gets warmer. GASP! Can these things get wet? I'd also like a watch that I can easily switch out straps (black tropic, bond nato, etc). I love the bracelet on my Subc so much that I can't bring myself to remove it, even temporarily. Keep us posted on how you end up using it. Work, fun, whatever. I'm interested in seeing how you treat it vs the way you treat your Subc. It might help me decide on getting the no-date vs one of my other highly desired watches next (DSSD and new EXP 2 white). |

Wear it please, it'll look brand new every five years when you have it serviced. I don't understand having two Subs and wearing a G-shock or something else while they sit on a winder or in a safe..... IMHO

I too own a Sub ND and it's a great watch but since you work around machines and tools I wouldn't wear a watch or rings while at work!!!
