Fellow watch lovers,

I’m in the process of re-starting my collection. Sold everything I have except for a 14060m Sub. Which option do you all prefer to get (re) started.

Option A - keep the 14060, and add a 16030 Datejust.

Option B - move the 14060 for a new Explorer, and add a vintage DJ. Probably either a 1603, or, more likely, a 16030.

Option C - move the 14060, and add a new brand DJ. Probably a 116234, silver dial. I’d then add a 36 mm Explorer 1.

Help.

Hi Bad, the best answer is always whatever makes you happy. The 14060m is a wonderful watch and I think it's nice to retain something for the ages so I wouldn't recommend ditching it for something else unless of course it makes your happy doing so.

Cubdrick · 25 October 2018, 08:05 AM

Why is your goal to have a “collection”? Buy what you want and only add another piece when it meets your needs. Asking others for input in foolish. With that said, what should I have for dinner?

brandrea · 25 October 2018, 08:07 AM

I would say every collection should have a Submariner so .....

Grilled chicken. Obviously.

None of the above.

Keep the sub and when something comes along you can't live without, grab it.

I'm a fan of the Sub Date. That's the one I'd own as a pillar of a collection. Moving the no-date Sub would be a definite move for me. And I prefer new watches over vintage, provided the new model has the look I love.

When I got my 16710 it had patina. Not a lot, but the BLRO bezel was just starting to fade and the hands had almost no lume left. I sent it in for basic service plus a new dial and hands. Since I'm not a collector, instead wearing whatever I buy, I'm happier with a fresh new-looking watch.

904VT · 25 October 2018, 08:28 AM

Option 4 Keep the 14060m, add 116610LV

doubleclass · 25 October 2018, 10:25 AM

Keep the sub.

What did you sell?

Keep the sub. Buy a nice gmt with a faded insert. Then a Speedmaster moonwatch and white faced explorer 2 40mm. Now that is a good collection. Sea, air, and underground covered. Plus some color. And major variety.

Pauln · 25 October 2018, 11:05 AM

Keep the Sub. Add from there.

vipereaper30 · 25 October 2018, 11:07 AM

Keep the sub. Why is that even an option to let go?

Jeee · 25 October 2018, 11:09 AM

Keep the sub first. The next one should whatever you feel the best

Option 1, although I'd suggest a new DJ

I kind of figured keep the Sub would be the leader. That’s where I was leaning; just needed a push. Thanks all.

None of the above, add nothing 36mm.

Keep the 14060m, add DJ 41 or EXP II polar.

red1108nyc · 25 October 2018, 11:34 AM

Pretty loaded question. Keeping 14060M sounds smart to me and the rest, trial and error will give you best answer.

subprimero · 25 October 2018, 12:31 PM

Option A.

ltmgeller · 25 October 2018, 01:35 PM

Option A. You can't go wrong with a sub

Dr.Smellody · 25 October 2018, 02:42 PM

Keep your 14060. Perfect.

Done.
