Got my 14060 back from my wife!
After I foolishly showed my wife how celebs like Jennifer Anniston and Cameron Diaz have been sporting mens Rolex watches, and told her she could wear my Sub if she wanted. She unexpectedly took me up on it. That was about 6 months ago. She has been wearing it pretty regularly, leaving her two tone TAG and Michelle fashion watches sitting in a box. Because of a recent wrist medical procedure, she's not wearing the the sub because of the size and weight. I saw my chance this moring, quickly and easily ( love those lug holes ) swapped out the after market bracelet I had to use to fit her small wrists with the original, and now my sub is back on my wrist! Feels great. I will say, after wearing my TAG Aquaracer 500M quite a bit this summer, the Sub feels a little petite, even compared to my GMT. Is the 14060 the same size as a classic GMT, I always thought they were both 40 MM? Anyway, I'm heading to the boat this weekend, so the Sub will get some water time, as it's meant to. Maybe a few boat pics are in store~!

Glad you got your watch back, sorry your wife had to have surgey so that you could get it back.
My GMTII and GMTIIC both have a 40 mm diameter case. However the GMTIIC wears larger than the GMTII. There are a number of things that go into how big a watch is and can appear to be besides the diameter of the case.
