Bit the bullett ...
... took the plunge, dropped the hammer ... well, you get the idea.
A brand spanking 14060M COSC will be winging its way to me within the week I can hardly believe I've done it ... I only have all of you to blame Should land at under $5,000 AUD ($4,700 USD) from an AD which is an OK price by me. Will post pics when I can. Thanks all Justin |

Congrats! You must be over the moon waiting for it.
Nothing quite like the feeling of knowing a beautiful watch is traveling in your general direction! |

Just bought one myself, and to be honest I didnt think I was going to love it 1/2 as much as I do. For some reason the non dated it so much more attractive to me then the date that I catch myself starring at it, then of course I scratch my head and wonder what the date is today, but that goes away fast!!! LOL
YOU'LL LOVE IT! |

Thanks all. This is one of those things that will only be real when I can actually hold/wear it. You are right, I can hardly wait
Steve, That photo was the image in my mind when I hit "send" on the email confirming the purchase. You can feel justly proud Cheers, Justin |

Congrats, Justin!
The 14060M COSC is an awesome watch, and I might also become an excellent investment IF Rolex decides to upgrade the whole Sub range. I look forward to seeing the wristshot!

Dear All,
I am humbled by the outpouring of good wishes and affirmations for my impending arrival. I know I am going to love this watch - something I have been drooling over for months Hopefully the wait won't kill me in the meantime It seems to me the choice (and cost!?!) of the first Rolex is the hardest to make - all the others (it is inevitable there will be more) should be a piece of cake As soon as the metal hits the wrist, the pics (at least the attempts at them) will start rolling in Thanks again for the support. You're a very decent bunch of guys (and gals) J |
