A 13-Year Love Story

[DCheeta]

Thirteen years ago this month, August 2000, I traded in a couple of watches and a little cash for a Rolex Submariner 14060. I had been lusting after her for a long time, and I finally got my hands on her. I was so excited that once I got home, I took a few photos of the Sub with my 2 megapixel digital Nikon (which was a high-resolution camera at that time). I was able to dig up the photo...



I've worn the hell out of the 14060 over the past 13 years, and I still love her like it's the first day we met. In all that time, I only had to bring it in for service once, and that was only last year. It's funny to think that my beloved Sub is now about 17 years old (T serial), and that we've aged together for the past 13 years. I was 26 when I bought it, and I'll be 40 next year. Time...well, you know...

Here she is today, relaxing with me on a park bench in Brooklyn Heights, dressed in her nylon summer attire.



Have a great day!
