please. Tell me that a guy who already has a SD doesnt need a sub. Tell me that the clean the look of it and its classic no BS look is nothing special.

Tell me that being a Bond fan doesnt make it an even better piece in the collection. Tell me the Sub date is better so I can stop thinking about it since my GMT2 (once I put on the black bezel) will fill the void.

Come on ppl its a POS watch, everybody knows this so please convince me that I shouldnt be falling in love with it.

It needs a date and is too big and bulky. =) maverick

All I can tell you Roger is that if you trade me that 'dweller for my Panerai you'll look forever cool, like in that pic you put up, and you'll get to snog all the Hilton sisters

This POS?

Who'd want this.... other than me? Its too heavy, too thick, lacks what makes a Rolex a Rolex, the cyclops. The bezel is sooooooooooo cliche, it doesnt make a good everyday watch.

But its also my fav watch, so no deal

BruceS · 20 November 2005, 06:07 AM

OK well no Hilton sister snogs for you then

BruceS · 20 November 2005, 06:10 AM

Oh btw, I had one, and I want another!

It's a great watch and one of THE classic Rollies IMO

If you buy new make sure you get the latest COSC movement in the latest ones available!!!!!!!!!!

That's my plan, if my dealer has one. Gotta sell the Panny first though.

RogerF · 20 November 2005, 06:51 AM

This is what has got me falling in love with the Sub http://www.uhrwald.de/wp14060.htm Percy from a German forum has rather nice pieces in his collection. Although his is with the old movt its still visually the same.

And yes I use google to translate the german forums all the time.

Gedanken · 20 November 2005, 11:07 AM

Roger! What are ya doing? Don't you know that POS only costs $5.72 to produce? You want to spend all that cash getting that piece of crap? Get a life!

BruceS · 20 November 2005, 12:03 PM

Trading away my 14060M was one of the dumbest moves I've made in my watch collecting days. It's one I really regret. On the other hand, the IWC 3706 I got for it ended up being worth probably a grand less than the Rolex 16610 I eventually traded it for

But, then I F'd up and let that one go

After I sell the ones I have up, and acquire another Rollie, I am so out of this watch flipping game. It's fun, but I've lost way too much money in the process!

I would take yours Daren! You seem to be really good at this game

dman · 20 November 2005, 01:03 PM

Almost hijacked this poor mans thread, sorry.

I love the Sub, yes that is right this one is the Sub, the other is the Sub-date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it is a classic watch that fits in anyones collection no matter the other pieces.

molex · 20 November 2005, 02:43 PM

The 14060M is a POS. It's too fancy, with that smarmy sapphire crystal, and what's with the glossy dial? And those markers, sticking up like that begging to be looked at, for shame. You should get one of these instead, MUCH classier...

Of course, now that I have MINE, I don't care if the rest of you go rushing out to buy one and push the prices up too high, have fun! LOLOLOL

BTW, the 14060M is *the* modern sub to own, IMO. Sorry.

RogerF · 20 November 2005, 03:54 PM

this time I can't blame you micah, been wanting one for a while......

The 14060M does NOT come with a COSC certificate, Steve.

padi56 · 20 November 2005, 07:25 PM

Dennis got offered a all original 5512 from 196281xxxx III 62 with 1530
movement and looked almost as good as your 5513.Just a tiny little bit of
spotting on dial, tha tyou could only see with loupe.But alas my old bank balance is looking a bit low,and Christmas is just around the corner.The
price under £2000,which I thought was quite a good price,my friend sold it the next day.

BruceS · 21 November 2005, 01:20 AM

JJ I believe it's been reported that the new ones will. I guess we wait and see.

That's interesting...didn't know that...was going by the latest 2005.8 catalogue.

Really doesn't matter....Nina's new watch is the absolute base, entry level one and is spot-on in accuracy!!

BruceS · 21 November 2005, 03:43 AM

I think it's a very good looking watch JJ! You know, I hate the term "entry level Rolex". Rolex is Rolex IMO, and they're all good

Well...I guess that's true...but for the "cheapest" Rolex out there, sure works like a dream. Of course, the low price is due to lack of all the 'fringe' benefits like Date, COSC, fluted bezel, etc.

OK, Roger. It's a POS.

Now, if you believe me, I have a very nice bridge that you might be interested in acquiring. It comes with toll booths in both directions and will provide you with a nice steady income. If you're interested, let me know and I'll PM the details.
