Missing my Sub more than I thought I would
A few weeks ago I picked up a 14060M Z-serial. It's a beautiful watch and I couldn't be happier, but it was running about +15 secs/day and had a couple of scratches on the bezel and crystal, so I wanted to get it serviced and repaired as needed. RSC said they had no record of it being serviced and there weren't any indications inside the case that it had been worked on before. It's a 10-year old watch, so it's probably time.
Yesterday I dropped it off at RSC Dallas and less than 24 hours later I'm missing it on my wrist more than I thought I would. I'm currently wearing a Stowa Antea Klassik KS, which is a fine watch, but it's no 5-digit Sub, that's for sure :) No real point to this post, other than crying to you fine gents since my wife won't want to listen to me talk about how I miss a watch |

The only solution to your problem is to buy another Rolex. That's what I did...

I completely understand. Time to focus on something else. Got any other cool hobbies?

I'd consider a 114060 to make the wait more bearable.

That's why you must always have a backup Rolex!

I like that Stowa quite a lot.
I think that could keep me happy for the duration of the service.
