First Rolex is here!

Got it this morning! I like it so far.

All of the negative comments about the bracelet on this generation of Rolex had me worried, but it seems a non-issue to me so far.

Now...it is going to get a ton of use.

Congrats Nick! This Rolex bracelet was there for many years for a reason. It is not as good as the new bracelets but it is a very comfy one nonetheless. Enjoy the 14060. Great Sub!

Congrats on your new Sub, it's an awesome watch that I hope you get years of enjoyment out of!
The tuna can clasp is just perfect! super comfortable and very light. The newer ones are very nice as well, just in different ways, but there is no reason to not purchase an older model Rolex with the lighter clasp.

Just enjoy it!

Thank you. I have, of course, been thinking about obtaining a Rolex for years. I did a lot of research, and this model fit a lot of requirements for me.
