Fellow Sub wearer loved my 114060

Was in costa coffee and noticed a man kept looking at me and the missus, we both then went to the toilet and had to queue outside. It was at this point he said to me nice sub and can tell it's new as bezel still shiny, he then showed me his sub hulk. I then explained the bezel was so shiny as was the new model with ceramic insert, he was very impressed and hadn't seen one but liked it and would probaly be his next Rolex. I think this is one of those Rolex watches that once seen in the flesh you just fall in love with it.

The safest place for your watch is on your wrist.

The appearance and design of the 14060 and the 16610 is magical. Simple, elegant and so powerful -- no wonder it is the most copied design on earth ....

Before I saw the 114060 in person, I don't really feel urgent to buy it. After seeing it and try it on my wrist, it's even more shinny under the halogen lights in AD, I can't wait to get it afterwards.

One time I was so "blinded" by the above described magic...
I thought I was buying a 16610 when in fact it was a 14060 !!
What gave me time to have a "safe exit"...was the low price
he was offering his Submariner for...(thanks to my suspicious nature)
my brain cleared immediately after.....

I'm actually planning on checking it out again tomorrow. It had been on my mind ever since it came out. I went and checked it out already a couple of months back. I couldn't make up my mind wether to go with it or YM Blue Dial. I really liked the two tone Sub with Blue Dial. I'm going crazy!

I had same problem when I first saw it and tried it, I thought it was too small and light. Yet after help from members on here I tried it again and loved it, you won't regret it if you opt for this model.
