Well, it's a trip to London in the morning and the exchanging of hard earned for the delights of ownership at last.
Thanks for all the advice everybody. I've settled on a 14060 non date, non COSC around about 2003 (luminar)
I simply wouldn't be going to buy with any degree of confidence without having posted here and had great answers and advice. Thanks.

A couple of pics of the lovely 14060 non date, non-cosc just to finalise the resolve would be great.

I'll be thinking of posting pics of the new piece all the way home tomorrow.

Great choice!

Hansch99 · 10 October 2011, 04:41 AM

Good luck on the purchase! Here's a COSC, but close:

P.S. I like straps.

Tudor66 · 10 October 2011, 04:42 AM

I was eyeing a similar, or perhaps I should say the same type of watch that you just purchased... I thought about it vs a GMTII, i went back last week and it was gone... dammm...

JimSnyder · 10 October 2011, 04:46 AM

Congrats. You will love it. Great pics everyone

316lad · 10 October 2011, 04:47 AM

THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

Sorry for shouting but, yes, That's what it is; the non-date, non-COSC Sub and yes, by this time tomorrow, it will be mine.

Good night all, and thanks for the photos and encouragement. I love this forum. I love it to bits.

I think you're all wonderful.

Cheers,

Keeperoftime · 10 October 2011, 09:25 AM

14060 is Classic!

gwalker · 10 October 2011, 09:57 AM

Great choice and good luck. But IMO you shouldn't have to be convinced to buy a Rolex. If you want it go for it. If you doubt the purchase don't buy it. That's a lot of money to ask others if you are making the right decision. Have you tried on other models like the GMTII C and Sub C? If you have doubts I highly suggest trying as many watches on as possible and find the one that sings to you.

Sorry I think I misunderstood the op's request. Can't wait to see pics.
