Thanks again, everybody. I'm dying to wear it, but I need to get it sized. I'll be doing that first thing in the morning.

Thanks again, all. I can't believe I've had my Sub for close to a month. Time flies!

Nima, I think my pics just make the watch look big. It looks fine on my wrist, I think. I feel like it wears larger than my SMP which it technically bigger, but it's still within reason. Something like a Sky-Dweller, I wouldn't be able to pull off.

I always liked the Subs, but didn't consider one since I was sure that I wanted the GMT function and that a Sub would be too close to my Omega 2254.50.

I kept going back and forth between these two watches, but eventually, I listened to my heart and not my head. I bought a 114060. Once I tried it on at the store, I knew it had to be mine. The history, simplicity and symmetry of the watch really won me over. I couldn't be happier with my decision and I have no regrets.





(Excuse the poor images)

Hopefully, this will be the first of many!

Wes
