Ok, I'm embarrassed to say this, but...
I bought my 14060M back. Yes, I went from a 14060M to a 16610 to a 16600 then another 16600 but I have turned back to a mint condition 14060M F serial. I sold this watch thinking I needed a date model but after a few unsuccessful purchases over the past month, I decided to turn back to my loyal and trusty first watch, the ND sub. I've gotta say, I never thought I would succumb to flippers regret, but it was there and I will never sell this watch again. If any of you see this watch on the For Sale forum in the furute... PM me toTALK ME OUT OF IT!
 Here are the pics.

Has to be even better now that you KNOW it's the right watch for you. Good for you to admit "defeat" and reacquire that classic.

Ha ha.
I purchaced and sold over a dozen Rolex sport watches and ended up with another 14060 in the end. Some times it takes a bit to realise what makes you the happiest, and to me, it is the classic Submariner, the ultimate Rolex sport watch.

To those of you who tell him that now he knows, you are all wrong.
...After all, he did ask us to look for him in the FS section!  That was a funny but great story, I hope you will enjoy it to the fullest (and for a long time).

Happens to the best of us. Sometimes what you think you don't like about a watch is the very thing you end up missing the most when you get rid of it!

I think we have all experienced flippers regret at one time or another. Congrats on getting your Sub ND.
