The Glidelock clasp is amazing on the SubC

I would keep the ND. I tried them both, preferred the ND and bought it. Happy I made the right choice.

On a direct trade the price difference is around £1,200 so I'd imagine that your trade offer is coming from a dealer, thus allowing for his profit margin.

They are both great watches so I can't recommend one over the other.

hmm... What would be a good price (cash on top) that would make this deal you can't refuse? It's currently at $2350...

They're pretty different watches -- one old school, tool watch and the other with more heft and bling. I respect the improvements made to the Sub-C but found it too big, square, and shiny on my 6.75" wrist. The 14060M fit like a glove and looks "just right".

Get the one you like most. If you can't decide, go with the Sub-C if you are a big person, have a big wrist, and are comfortable with a watch that people will notice and that makes a statement. If you're not too big physically or lower key by nature (and like it that way) stick with the no-date. ;-)

This is exactly what I did two years ago; sold my 14060M and upgraded to the SubC. BEST move I ever made. I did not and have not regretted my decision in the least. However, it is ultimately up to YOU to decide which watch you like better. Best of luck with your decision.

I have quite a few friends who have traded "up" to Sub-C from old style and most regret the decision. I myself just got a new 14060M and retired my Sub TT to dress only because of the upgrades to movement "paracrom" (sp) etc. The 14060M is a true classic with great comfort, ruggedness and style.

I trade my SD for a Sub-C roughly 5 months ago. I'm glad I did too. It will come down to what you WANT. If I start a poll should I flip my SD For a Sub-C. 80% of TRF would vote no.

Both are fantastic watches, but I'd stick with the 14060M!

I have both, and 14060M would be my choice if I can only have one.

Sub C is a better watch in terms of new features.

But 14060M is a better watch in terms history to the root, as a tool for diving, looks, comfort, price.

See whats more important to you.
