Step down or not???

[jerrychan23]

Hi Guys,

I just receive a brand new 114060 from my AD last week, but after trying it, I am thinking about step down to a 14060m 4 liners with random code, since my wrist is small ,and a smaller 14060m with similar movement should fit me better. But not sure if it is a smart move.

Want to get some great opinions from everyone here!

Pictures would be useful. However, the bottom line is that if you’re not happy you should certainly consider an alternative. You’ll be wearing it after all! Personally, unless the fit was terrible I wouldn’t trade down. And that’s assuming the other watch fits you better.

If it suits you better and you prefer it go ahead. I wouldn’t think of it as a step down personally.

Smaller case

Go look at the Tudor Black Bay 58 on the bracelet. Everything the older Submariners were with a modern movement and a warranty. Get at least half your money back and go get a Classic Speed Master or 36 mm Explorer. Just my thoughts.

I also suggest trying a Tudor BB58. The problem will be finding one in HK - I haven't seen any yet.

Yes, the BB58 need to be in waiting list in Hong Kong.

Get the 14060m. Can use the original bracelet. But ask Michael young to remove a fixed link on the 6 o clock side.

Good suggestion

Sounds like a decent plan, though I’m not the biggest fan of the older bracelet. What about an Explorer 1?

Diver watch is my choice.

Why would you think a maxi case sub would fit well?

This is a good question, OP. I think pics would help in this situation.

14060m will not fit u.

you cannot remove any links on the 6 o'clock side and the min there is 5 links.

the 114060 can at least be sized down to fit your wrist.

[hbk75]

dun just consider the cases, u have to take note of the bracelet fitting as well.

I am planing to change a Glidelock for the 14060m if i got it, will it help?

If you hate the maxicase lugs, then yes, I think 5 digit with glidelock is the perfect combo for you.

I tried in the Ad, but just the excitement of buying the watch make me think everything is perfect at that time.

I owned a two line tritium 14060 Sub and bought the 114060 as an upgrade. I have smaller wrists as well and found the 114060 felt top heavy and really didn't fit me well. I kept the 14060 and traded the 114060 for another watch. Do what works for you but I had no issue fitting or enjoying the five digit Sub.

I kind of feel the same after I try the 114060 and i had tried a 14060M in a second hand shop, which feel lighter and smaller.

Actually 114060 is not too heavy. U should try wearing a seiko sumo

I think the 14060 would fit you better. Try to get the modern 97200 Glidelock bracelet with it though, that’d be the best combination.

I also have smaller wrists, it’s about 6.5” and rounded. I have the 116710LN (pretty similar to the 114060) and 16570 (pretty similar to the 14060). I do love the GMT, but seems a bit big on my wrists in the summer when I’m wearing short sleeves. Not an issue in the winter though when I have sweaters etc. So I got the 16570 and it looks great. So I suspect it’d be the same for you too, though definitely try it a couple of times.





On the bracelet, currently I have 4 links (1 removable) on the 6 o’clock side, and 4 links (1 removable) + 1/2 link (removable) on the 12 o’clock size. So for your 6” wrists, my guess is that removing all removable links would fit. Do try it out if you can.

Good luck!

Thanks! Smaller watch definitely suit me better, the other reason i like the 14060M 4 liner with random code, is the smallest production of this one inside the 14060M family

I vote to keep the 114060. The size difference to the old modell is not that substantial.

I agree. I think it looks fine. You have it sitting on the narrowest point on your arm in the photo. Is that where you actually wear your watches? I find that to be an unacceptable location as I kind of like having unimpeded wrist articulation.
