Icon14 Purchased first Rolex 114060

Well I'm glad to say that finally (after much research on TRF) I'm the proud owner of the new Sub 114060

Picked it up a few days ago from the dealer and damn it's a fine watch.
Have been wearing a Breitling B1 for years now and thought I would buy another luxury watch to celebrate the birth of our second child next week.

First thing you notice is the weight compared to the B1, the B1 is very heavy and the Sub just feels a lot nicer on the wrist, very comfortable!

Nice blue lume when it's dark and just a very good and neat looking watch without all the fuss (still keep the B1 because it has ALL the bells and whistles you could ask for).

I reckon it's gonna be a keeper!!

I'll post some pics soon.

Keep it up TRF

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your second child...and what better way to mark that very special time than with a very special watch. It will always have unique meaning.

Of course, that means you can't flip it!

Savor your blessings!

That watch looks fantastic. I saw it last week in a jewelry store, fell in love and am picking mine up on Monday (new) from a trusted classified seller on the forum for $1350 less than the store!

Enjoy the watch and your second blessed event!
