Sub Date and ND under scrutiny
Ok guys, devils advocate here. The Sub date and Sub ND are under the microscope, Having experienced both, my observation were that the Sub Dates bracelet felt more solid due to the SEL, the actual divers extension bit are exactly the same apart from the extra links that lock into the clasp on the Date version. However, the dial on the ND version imo is superior in that i am quite surprised how much the cyclops interferes with the view.
The ND version also seems to fit a little more comfortably. Now the big question. Regarding the 14060M, costing £2790 in the UK, most of us accept the bracelet as it is, but should we, I no it's stood the test of time, but when off the wrist, does feel quite light and a little flimsy yet we know its not. Taking our "Love of Rolex" heads off for a bit, is it acceptable for this type of braclelet to be on a £2790 watch. Or is that part of Rolex's appeal, in that the braclelet is not a gimic, and does the job well and reliably.
