Nice (silicone?) strap! Can you post details on this?

[Grunthos]

Congratulations Brian, I certainly know what you mean by the comfort of this model, it just fits. Unfortunately the rest of my collection just do not feel quite as comfortable as they used to now.

[Goose 104]

Superb - really great to heat how happy new sub owners are.

[eightball76]

Big congrats Brian.... as much as I love the watch I'm wearing, the next one is always my favourite

[Thrasher36]

Fantastic it looks so much better with thinner lugs! Great on the Rubber strap

[G.D.BeanCounter]

Congrats!

[Danny83]

Looks great Brian

[timlaw]

thanks for posting - that looks perfect

so tomorrow was going to be a great day as i collect my new to me 911 Targa 4S



so i didnt think i could get more excited today until my AD phoned to say my 124060 is ready to collect on saturday

today was a very good day but the next two days will take some beating i think

A great watch and would ordinarily be well and truly on my radar if I were looking for a Sub as there's a lot that's right about it
Shame about the movement

I hope it serves you as well as your previous references

Possibly the best proportion of any sub I've ever had - let me go down the line. 5513, 1680, 5 digits date and no date, Rail Dial Seadweller, 114060, 116610 and a couple of 2 tones. These are all beauties that have come and gone through the years of collecting and learning.

So in a nut shell for me, this new 124060 takes on a wearability of a slimmed down 114060 and spreads out over my 7 and 5/8 wrist more like my EXP II 42mm watch. I just can't say enough about the comfort ( for me anyway ) The proportions look like a modern nod to a classic 5513. The differences are subtle. Obviously from a spectator perspective no one would be able to visually tell the difference between the 114060 and this new model, the difference is clearly for the wearer.

So without going on and on - if the question in your mind is "why should I get this model, is it really different than the previous?" The answer is yes it is in spades. Now - if you already own a 114060 and are happy with it, do you need to sell your soul for this one right now? - Maybe not. For me, I currently did not have a 6 digit sub in the collection and with these minor case adjustments it really comes through for me in every way.

Cheers!

First off congrats on the watch. It looks awesome on your wrist.

I completely agree with your logic about getting this because you didn’t own a 6 digit version already. If I didn’t have a couple ceramics already, the 124060 would be at the top of my list. Enjoy the watch!

Yay, you got it! Congrats Brian!

I agree with your assessment 100%. Over the past 20 years I’ve had a 5513, 1680, 14060, 116600, and a 114060. The reason I went through so many is because I was looking for the perfect Sub (for me), which I now know is the 124060.

Enjoy your new Sub, can’t wait to see some underwater pics!

[Oldfellow]

Congratulations, and thanks for the nice write up.
Looking even more forward to a call now.

[cvo]

Very nice perspective - Congrats!

[HACKNSACK44]

Congrats!!

Thanks Dave, I know you totally get it! Maybe some new underwater shots in Dec....(just sayin)....

Beautiful piece on a beautiful wrist.
Congratulations!

[NYFatboy99]

I don't own the new Sub yet but have heard only positive reviews on it's wearable comfort.
Planning on getting one to the collection...

Congratulations on your too.

Wow what a couple of beautiful incomings! Your Targa and Sub make a perfect match.

Can’t be put in a better way. Great watch indeed. Congratulation Brian, enjoy this beauty.

Nice, glad you are enjoying your new watch.

[usmc_k9_vet]

Congrats! The new Sub looks great.

[Aterth]

Well said and congratulations

[Nkun]

Nice one. Congratulations too

[1William]

Congratulations.

[Malbolge]

Ill be honest. I cant tell which is 114 and which is newer. I mean especially on a big wrist, someone who wears 42mm watches... I dont get it. I think both look nice! But when i see posts of new sub, i cannot yet tell at first glance which one Im looking at.

Ok, great points, you’ve convinced me to get one. Now which one? ND, Date, or Green?
