Thank you. There is something about it I can't explain. It just seems a little wild and doesn't make sense like the black dial.

Yes sir, it sure does come to life outdoors in the sun.

It's just not my style.

As Subs go, I think that the 14060M is the zenith of Submariner style.
A few days ago I was saying the same thing about the watch and not my style. I wasn't big on the combination of the colors on the bezel and dial. I also didn't think I'd like having a big green watch on my wrist. It all changed after I wore it a few minutes. I wouldn't want it as a one and only, it's too loud for a GADA watch.

Oh, and I agree 100% about the 14060m. I am still kicking myself for not getting the last one my AD got in. It's part of the reason I don't take long now to decide on a watch.

Oh wow, I am so glad you posted your new GS. I love, I mean love, that new model. It is amazing! Please post up more pics, I would like to see more of that green.

Congratulations. Two fantastic watches.

That Seiko is well wicked. I might be tempted.

As for the LV, well, it's the LV. Enough said.

OP smart move.
The Hulk might be the Ugliest Rolex made in history.
I have passed them up on my collection many times.
The Deep Sea is the flagship of Dive Watches why buy a low level green Rolex?
It looks like a Liberal Snowflake Watch.

I have passed on the green submariner several times, I do not like that shade of green.

The hulk is a smart looking watch without doubt but am afraid for the money it costs its not for me, am not into to green to that extent. Blue most definitely as in the TT Blue sub or stay traditional and go for black. However if someone want to give me a Hulk I wouldn't refuse..

Yeah, I kind of surprised myself with that one too. It did take a half hour or so of wearing it before I said yes.

Great pic, I find green watches the hardest to photograph. Could be the green or my lack of talent.

I agree. If I didn't already have the black SS and TT blue subs I likely would not have gotten the green.

So we've all been doing it wrong. The proper way is reverse psychology and say your not interested at all. Somebody try that with a DaytonaC
