Opinions please

Either tomorrow or mondays the day guys, so give us your thoughts.

SD or 14060M

Just a few things:

Believe it or not, this is a keeper I cannot flip. So it has to be right.

I'm swinging towards the SD for reasons I've stated in previous threads.

Thanks in advance

In that case, go with the watch which has been tugging on your feelings for the longer period of time, the SD.

Go with your heart, especially if you will never sell it. I love the 14060M no date, comfortable and clean, but I also love the SD, I have never owned one so I have no personal experience to pass on. If you are leaning towards the SD, don't get persuaded by others opinions, buy the one that you know deep down inside is the right choice. Do you need the date, because if you don't the ND Sub will save you some cash. Lets be honest here, they are both fantastic watches, you really can't make a wrong decision.

If you can only have one, and you;re going to keep it forever, you will want the date funtction on it. To me, it's that black and white!

Ah, I just found your others posts. After reading that, I say you should buy the SD and when you get tired of it in three weeks, I'll buy it.



SD for sure...

NOT a fair comparison.
All TRue Sportos will eventually own an SD.

That would depend, Jon. If DATE is NOT important to you, then definitely the sleeker and more dress no-date Sub - but get the one with the COSC certificate and CRB printing.

If DATE is important to you.....then it goes without saying, this one!!!

I vote for the 14060m. Its lighter than the SD, thinner, and closest to the "original sub, and the symmetry of the no date dial is beautiful. Plus in the "wild" they are probably just as rare as the SD
