Well I can finally post some pics of my beautiful new arrival, will try and cut a long story short but I originally started my search at the end of last year for a Tudor Sub. Which I have to say resulted in my finding this place... which now I'm so glad I did as it's truly a great site and has all you guys posting great information and pics about the watches that we love to not only wear but to spend hours reading about.

Anyway back to the story, I posted a couple of wtb for the Tudor sub but didn't really get much back. I then started to look at the Rolex sub, but before I knew it I came across an unbelviable offer for an F series SD. After speaking to a couple of friends they reassured me that if I went for the SD and there was a risk that I didn't like it they would either buy it off me later in the year or at worst I could sell it and still get my money back. Now the rest is history as I bought it and fell in love with it, TBH it's the one that get's the most wear out of all my watches and I'm just glad I managed to get it before Rolex announced that they were discontinuing it

n:

But then as soon as I got it, it wasn't more than a couple of weeks went past before I started to get those feelings again that I really should try a Sub

just to compare as this was something that I hadn't done

so then the search started again. Ideally I wanted a ND Sub the 14060M model, but if I could also get a trit dialled version the 14060 that would be even better for me. Eventually found one and here are the pictures of the fine watch in question.

BTW Thanks Mike for the advice

It seems that you have got 2 great watches, and maybe some room for some more in the future

The photos show a great looking 14060M

I just hope you don't blame the forum for spending all that money on those watches.
