Although I voted for the SD (only 'cause of the date factor), the no-date Sub looks sleeker and aesthetically has a much better looking dial.

Your call, pal.

Good luck either way!! You can't go wrong!!

I'd go for the SD. More exclusive, IMHO.

Only because I already have a Sub with the date in the 16613, and I should have bought a 14060 last week when the price was right!

I voted 14060M...the dial of the SD really does look smaller to me (yes, I know its the same size as the subs) and I'm not crazy about the thicker case.

Honestly, Jon, if DATE is NOT an issue with you, then I'd recommend the no-date Sub in a heartbeat.

Good luck - JJ

I voted Sub. Its a modern 5513 in my book, I only wish for a domed crystal. For me, while excellent, they're quite different from each other, and its like comparing apples to oranges.

Ok Guys, here it is. I'm suffering from the "I want" syndrome. I love the SD, but I also love the slimmer approach of the Sub. Thats it, I can't afford another watch, so I have to either flip, or suck it in and be satisfied.

It's a tough choice and the one I had to make when I bought my first Rolex. I went with the SD because it was beefier.

If you think you prefer slimmer, go with the Sub.

Of course, there's no rule that says this has to be your last watch purchase forever...

SD. I need to look at the date, although the 14060M is a beautiful watch.

Are you sure it is bulk or boredom that is pushing this decision???
