My 2003 14060M is currently in the competent hands of Vanessa for a service

. The hair spring was off-center and had a beat error of 2.7ms. Might as well have it overhauled while its there.

Its a watch that I wear all the time. I almost forgot that I sent it to her this morning when I went to go put it on. I feel naked today without it. It is going to be a long 2 more weeks until I get it back. I feel like im cheating on my favorite watch when I put another one from my collection on my wrist.

Anyone else get the same feeling when your favorite watch is out for service?

DCheeta · 11 September 2017, 02:21 AM

I think I saw your off-center hairspring on Vanessa's IG feed.

My 14060 was at RSC for service for about six weeks, I was counting down the days until I got it back. I know how you feel. That was when I decided that I needed to buy a lot more watches.

That was mine that you saw. She said it usually happens from impact but I cant remember any big jolts while wearing it so maybe it happened before I bought it. Even thought the beat error was 2.7ms, the time was never off more than about +2.5 seconds a day so I always thought everything was ok. It wasnt until I put it on my new Lepsi scope a couple weeks ago that I saw the problem.

I am actually in the process of searching for a nice dress watch. I think my sight is set on a blue dial Nomos worldtimer. I just missed one in the classifieds a few days ago. Its a beautiful dial!

AK797 · 11 September 2017, 02:53 AM

I haven't forgotten to put on a watch in years, but as I don't carry my phone when I don't really have to, I would feel very naked without it.

I didnt forget to put it on. I forgot that I sent it to her when I went to put it on.

brandrea · 11 September 2017, 03:21 AM

I hope you get it back very soon. I can't relate as I don't really have a favourite.

My watches are like children, I love them all, it's just sometimes I'd rather spend more time with one, than the others

WatchNutcase · 11 September 2017, 03:24 AM

Yes very common feeling haha! Just don't fall in love with another watch while she is gone.

Oh man, that is the perfect choice! Absolutely stunning watch. With that and the 14060M you'll have a perfect pair!

machob55 · 11 September 2017, 04:30 AM

I know the feeling. My 14060 was out for Service for three weeks at Official Time Watch. I felt completely naked. Even though I could of worn my GMT or DJ, the no date Sub is my favorite and I missed it everyday until it's return!

My grail watch, a 16710 Pepsi, is in for service. I'm making due in the mean time with my Omega Speedmaster.

Always have a backup. Takes a little of the sting away.

offrdmania · 11 September 2017, 05:15 AM

This just happened hehe

I was getting antsy waiting for the service and found a NOS blue at a great price. Should be here in a few days.

Dennisoul · 11 September 2017, 07:15 AM

I totally missed my 14060M when it was away for a service, it was at RSC for 3 and a half weeks....it was running +9 seconds per day before it went, it's now running +2 per day and looks beautiful.....Defo worth the wait, but I felt lost when it was away....I understand your pain

offrdmania · 13 September 2017, 02:14 PM

Now im waiting for the 14060M and the Nomos LOL. At least the Nomos will be here on Thursday. The sub has a couple more weeks.

Vanessa CW21 · 14 September 2017, 04:31 AM

This post has me cracking up! I'll try my best to get it to you asap, Matt! Just know it's in good hands, and I'll tell it you said hi

Vanessa, the substitute arrived today. This thing is gorgeous! But tell my sub that he is still #1 and not to be jealous of the Nomos.
Do your best ; )

I think the case has been made for a few more watches in the stable. Just sayin'.

offrdmania · 16 September 2017, 06:30 AM

An update from Vanessa. It's getting closer to coming home

offrdmania · 22 September 2017, 11:54 PM

My beloved 14060M has been returned. It looks great and the scope numbers are near perfect. Thank you Vanessa for keeping me informed throughout the entire process, you rock!

mtgjr · 23 September 2017, 12:27 AM

Come on, man. You know you can't post that kind of update without pics.

HogwldFLTR · 23 September 2017, 12:39 AM

Can't wait to see the photos!!! Great to get it back!!!

I also felt like that when I sent my watch for service. Right now, the waiting for a service in Germany (sending it to Rolex via an AD) is between 4-5 months.

I was told that this is because of a growing number of watches that have to be serviced combined with many watchmakers retiring or about to retire.

Is it the same in your place?

Best regards,

Mr. Gonzalez
