Sub No Date Weight Diff? 5513, 14060, 14060M and 114060
In my continuing quest to retire my 5513 for special occasions, I may have a lead on a good deal on a 114060 as a daily wearer.
I have tried on an 114060 for about 1 minute and it was noticeably heavier. I am wondering how it will feel after a full day. I have also tried on the new Explorer I several times and its weight does not bother me. So I am interested if anyone knows the actual weight differences of the no date sub modes, apples to apples with appropriate bracelet and full lengths. I appoloize in advance if this subject is answered in a prior thread.

The weight difference will be noticeable. When I swap from LVc to 5 digit models it's a bit of relief.
What it gains in weight is offset by the superior quality and adjustability offered in the ceramics' bracelet. You'll get used to the weight difference real fast and only notice when swapping between IMO. |

I wear it daily. It's not a heavy watch by any means. Construction is very solid. Must have for any collection imo.

My 5513 feels like a feather compared to my 14060M....I had a 114060 for only about 6 months and sold it due to it being quite uncomfortable....Its a sharp piece for sure, I just couldn't get over how uncomfortable it was....It quickly became the watch that just sat in the safe which doesn't fly with me...If I can't enjoy it....it has to go...And so it did...I'd go with a 2 liner 14060M for sure...
