I can't let him go.....

This is a weird feeling. I've my barely used 14060M V series up for sale for a while now but I'm just hoping nobody will ever buy it. I haven't wear it in months now and I need,not that I deseperately need,to cover some expenses of a recent mountainbike shopping spree,but still, when I look at that watch I tell myself " what a cool,sturdy,low profile time machine it is".
Should I start wear it while mountainbiking ???

I thought the Sub without date was being discontinued? I don't see it on the Rolex website any more. If that is so, then I would keep it. That is, if you feel like watches that do no have a date. I can't think of any other watch maker who does a diver like that without the date. I also feel that at 40mm it is the perfect size. Most other divers are at least 42m-46mm and higher.
Cheers,
Carl

Your sub will do fine on a mountain bike..

Life is just too short to worry about it, or fail to enjoy the experience........

This is a durable watch, wear it! When it gets all beat up send it to Jocke for complete restoration!
