New ND SubC Spotted in UK AD Window
Saw the new ND SSSubC in a window of Goldsmiths this afternoon price is £5,000. Clearly not as popular as when SSSubC Date launched a couple of years ago.

Seems like every AD in the north west now has this model in their windows. Guess there's no waiting list for this fella.

Maybe because the design (ceramic, super case etc) isn't new anymore like it was with the replacement of the 16610 with the 116610 so people aren't quite as excited about the 114060?
Who knows....either way I've been offered one too by my AD as well in London |

One of my local ADs has a 14060 and 114060 sitting next to each other in the window - have been there for a week or so. I'm wondering which will sell first...

I never fully understood the concerns about the lack of a date function on a Sub. I just set my bezel to the date on my ND Subs. Sure, it's slightly easier to see an actual number in a date window, but the bezel method works just as well. And the trade-off is a much more beautiful-looking and symmetrical dial on the ND versions, IMHO.

I found that the cyclops really gets in the way when using it for timing dives

I was initially blown away by the 114060 and started saving after seeing a photo of it on here last year. Had intended selling my 14060 and putting the money I had saved towards the new one but after seeing it at the weekend I was left somewhat underwhelmed, so much so that after checking my saving account it made more sense to buy a complete 16710 and keep the 14060! Pepsi bezel will be on its way next week too!!
