Buying my 1st Sub....

[mschafer]

Great problem, and congrats to be on that crossroad. If you can give both a try, even better...if you're going used, make sure you have funds for a checkup and water proof test. The arguments are well know, but if it was me and I was looking for a no hassle, reliable, everyday watch, I'd prefer the current version due to the mechanical upgrades...

Thanks! My wrist is 7.5 inch but I do have a flat wrist so it fits well.

Yes but you got to own both and really appreciate the differences. Sometimes it's about the journey.

Since a well-bought 14060 should not lose value I don't see how the OP can go wrong either way.

Love the look on the classic 14060 but you can't beat the 114060's upgrades. I personally think the ceramic bezel, glide lock and engraved rehaut make all the difference

I got my 114060 a couple of years ago and don't regret it for one moment, but I would still at some point like a 14060 the reason being its a Rolex

Looks solid, I am heavily leaning in that direction myself.

Congratulations on your Submariner, and going with the ceramic!

114060 ........ a excellent choice

I'm not sure updates are always better I had the choice of purchasing a blue TT SubC but purchased a 13yr old blue TT sub instead because I prefer the darker blue which to me is more sophisticated and classy and the older Subs aren't as chunky as the SubC, I owned an SS SubC and far prefer the smother less chunky look of the older sub models. I read that there are fields of thought that the movement used in the older models is better due to different bearing types used though I wouldn't know. I've had this watch for a week, it was 1 second slow last week it's 2 seconds slow this week which by all accounts is pretty good for a mechanical watch. Really you have to buy the Rolex you try on and fall in love with no matter how old it is, a rolex will last beyond a life time anyway so a few years here or there doesn't make much difference
