Etshell,
I very much enjoyed your review and your love of the Submariner.
Like you, I've always preferred this Sub over the Submariner Date. Ever since I got my Explorer 214270 (which I dearly love to wear) the Submariner has been calling out to me. The Explorer and the Submariner would certainly for me make a wonderful pair of watches for alternate everyday carry.
I have been wanting to try on a 114060 in order to see how it looks on my wrist. However, I am concerned whether the super chunky maxi case will be a bit too large for me.
Time will tell.
BTW, Kenneth from what I can see the 114060 does not appear to be too big for your wrist.
