Thoughts on my next purchase...

I currently have the pre-ceramic Sea Dweller, ceramic GMT (black), and a new white face Daytona (also have a PAM 0). I've been thinking about adding a ceramic Sub to my collection. I really like the new bracelet and I love the ceramic dial (big fan of it on my GMT which I have had for 6 years). I'm trying to decide between the date and ND sub. I like the clean face of the ND Sub, but I do use the date function on my GMT and Dweller. However, I think the Sub Date might be a bit too similar to my GMT, so maybe the clean ND Sub would be the best bet... Thoughts?

You can't go wrong with the 114060. It's an awesome watch.

black, black, white, black dials.

Why not add a green?

It isn't loud in real life.


If you are really set on another black dial, get the ND as it would be a little more different.

Agree that the Hulk would be the ideal Subc in your collection, and in most frankly.

Yeah, the LVc if you are okay with a green dial, if not the SubC with all f the differences in comparison to your existing collection would be nice as well. However you could trade the Sea Dweller in on a SDc and that would be a pretty nice trade off.

I had not considered the Sub LVc, but now you have me thinking about this Sub too. I'm a bit worried that the green would be too flashy... It's now between the Sub LVc or Subc ND. Thanks for the input.

I just pulled the trigger on a Sub LVc to add to my collection. I'm expecting to receive it tomorrow. Thanks for all the input and the LVc recommendation!
