Lol. I got you.
It is on the way to me now. It was way to good of a deal to pass on. I was actually looking for a 1680 and a 16800 when i found this and a 14060. I couldnt decide which one i liked more so i ended up buying both. :)
They are both on the way now. My wife has but me on rolex restriction for a while. Lol

Thanks again for all the compliments guys.
Here is a couple pics of the 14060 before it gets to me. I will probably change it to a leather strap as well. :)
I love the look of subs on vintage looking leather

The 14060 came in today. Here are some quick wrist shots. It has some marks and definitely needs a better strap which I have already ordered a nice vintage one. Overall, it is a nice watch for a daily wearer that will look amazing with that vintage leather strap. :)
What do yall think?
