She's back!
Today i atoned for a mistake I made 3-4months back. Arguably it was the biggest mistake I have made since I started collecting back in 2007.(OK I also lost a chunk of cash trading two watches albeit they went towards Grail purchases so they don't count) At the time I flipped her as I fancied something new and was trying to complete a collection but I have missed her tremendously. I've said here on the forum that it's a boring watch and have looked at yet more alternates but I just keep getting drawn back in. I guess what makes it boring is its simplicity and in a small but diverse collection of 7 it is without doubt it's simplicity that makes it so good. It is the missing link - I'm just glad to have her back on my wrist.
I haven't had time to take the wrappers off yet but this pic of my last one shows why. Dress up dress down, super comfortable, safe as money in the bank, evergreen and absolutely bombproof - Welcone home 114060

I had a 14060M and I hated the non SEL bracelet. I flipped it for a 114060. The 114060 is technically a great watch but alas I keep looking at the fat lugs whenever I wear it. Everything about the 114060 is great except for the fat lugs. But others who see a 114060 on my wrist don't think its big. Maybe its just me. I am now thinking of flipping the 114060 for a 16610 Sub Date Pre-Ceramic which has SEL bracelet. I hope I will not be making a mistake and I hope I will not be missing the 114060.
