So i've just bought a brand new Submariner no date, cue major excitement!

Thanks chaps

I was very close to buying a sea dweller 16600, but when I tried it on it wore smaller than the submariner. Maybe cos the dial is that tiny bit smaller? Im also used to 46/48mm watches and have quite large wrists.

So then it was a submariner that I needed, and then I tried the Ceramic one on and the new Sub just feels bigger and the bracelet was great so I just had to fine one at the right price.

So the collection is now this

Submariner 114060 as above

Schofield Signalman DLC


Glycine Incursore


Larsson and Jennings CM Silver


G Shock

Welcome! The SubC is a great watch!

You're right, it does look larger on the wrist than the SDc, but it's actually the lugs that are bigger not the dial.

Congrats!
