Today i atoned for a mistake I made 3-4months back. Arguably it was the biggest mistake I have made since I started collecting back in 2007.(OK I also lost a chunk of cash trading two watches albeit they went towards Grail purchases so they don't count) At the time I flipped her as I fancied something new and was trying to complete a collection but I have missed her tremendously. I've said here on the forum that it's a boring watch and have looked at yet more alternates but I just keep getting drawn back in. I guess what makes it boring is its simplicity and in a small but diverse collection of 7 it is without doubt it's simplicity that makes it so good. It is the missing link - I'm just glad to have her back on my wrist.

I had a 14060M and I hated the non SEL bracelet. I flipped it for a 114060. The 114060 is technically a great watch but alas I keep looking at the fat lugs whenever I wear it. Everything about the 114060 is great except for the fat lugs. But others who see a 114060 on my wrist don't think its big. Maybe its just me. I am now thinking of flipping the 114060 for a 16610 Sub Date Pre-Ceramic which has SEL bracelet. I hope I will not be making a mistake and I hope I will not be missing the 114060.
