14060m Finally!
Well after a little "Hummin' and Hawin' " finally broke down and bought a Submariner ND. It came down to a choice between the Submariner ND, an Explorer 2 (Black Face), and a Sea Dweller (original).
After trying all of them on (not to mention a few others...) there was something about the Sub that made me buy it. One thing however, i noticed was how light especially the band is, like it almost seems delicate and could break. Afer reading these forums i think i am a little 'over-worried' of breaking it and it will be something that ill have to get used too. I have to say this is one beautiful watch and am having trouble not looking at it. anyway pics are to follow. J |

I always found the Subs to have "cheap" or "fragile" feeling bracelets also. Apparently, they aren't though.

I saw one 14060 at the AD, and it looked awesome. It was almost like a watch from the classic collection.
It was beautiful! I hope you enjoy it! |

Beautiful non-cosc!! I love the lack of lettering on the face, wish they still made them that way.

I'm torn between buying that one or a DJ for my next Rolex, if there is a next Rolex.
Actually, I'm so happy with my Explorer that I'm not sure if I'll ever wear another watch. But, that's a beauty, for sure. Congratulations. |

Congrats, waiting for the pics.
I've had my GMT II for a month and I think I have already decided a non COSC 14060M is my next watch. |

Congrats on the Sub! Don't worry about the light bracelet...it won't break and you'll eventually appreciate it's weight (or lack of).

There seems to be a 14060 virus going around. I've been getting the sniffles a little my self.

Congratulations on getting a real classic.
The bracelet wont break so dont worry.....every so often it will give you a little "wrattle" to let you know it's still ok. If I had to start buying watches again, I would start with this watch for sure. |

My 14060M is the older model without the COSC certification lettering on the dial and I really like the cleaner look!!!
