Pulling the trigger! First Sub!

Just pulled the trigger on a used 14060M, found it here on the forum from addy616. Saw it posted in the for sale spot and inquired. Should have the deal done and watch In hand by the end of the week. Will post pictures then. Made the decision based on info I’ve learned in this forum. So thank you to all.

Huge congrats in advance. The Sub ND 14060(m) is a beloved and revered piece throughout the watch world. It's a handsome, rugged, under-the-radar watch, and it's extremely fun to wear. Looking forward to your incoming pics. To keep you going during your wait, here's a photo of mine from a couple of winters ago.

Congratulations OP!

Welcome to this family of crazy, watch-obsessed folks. You’ll find yourself looking at other peoples’ wrists at airports, and giving a wink to people who have the same watch. It’s a good feeling!

Wear the hell out of it and enjoy every minute!

I’ve always dismissed the sub, don’t know why. I recently picked one up and immediately understood I’d been wrong all this time. I think you’ll love it.

On the wrist

Well the watch arrived today. Looks and feels great. Need to figure out how to pull a link out for bracelet fit but I threw it on a nato and enjoying it (tight between the pin and the case, everyone else experience this?). I like the low key vibe on the nylon, but the bracelet sure looks right.

Congratulations on your Submariner, it’s a beauty.

Are you using a Nato for 20 mm lug width?

You might try a 19 mm size. From. Your photo the 20 is too snug, I agree.
