Another happy 14060m owner!

So I was in HK on a business trip and thought I'd pop into the many 2nd hand handbag stores in Tsim Sha Tsui to look for a handbag for my fiance.
Despite the millions of dollars worth of Hermes Birkens etc on display my attention was immediately drawn to the glass cabinets with those deep dark green boxes. Subs.
So with a little help from TRF (http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=223178) and some time to think, I pulled the trigger.

And the most important thing is....



She got her bag!

Congratulations! I think that's a very smart move, but then, I'm biased.
