Icon7 Many thanks....

The 14060 is a relatively recent addition. The TOG I have had for a year after trading in my 18 year old datejust. After the 14060, I am begining to favor the 40mm size over the TOG's 36mm. Insofar as weight, the redesigned TOG case (compared to my original DateJust) and the solid oyster link band makes the TOG and the Sub about the same weight. After wearing the solid oyster band, I can see why the Submariner claps are sometimes referred to as Tuna Cans. The TOG machined clasp is much more substantial. If only the TOG came in 40mm, and used the YachtMaster or Daytona oysterlock clasp I think would really have a winner. I am eagerly waiting for Basal in March to see if an upgraded stainless GMTII is released.

Again, thanks for the kind compliments.
