Incoming 14060M

Hi all,

Just got this ‘K’ 2001 sub and it seems pretty good despite the bezel being a bit tight and the crown doesn’t ‘pop/spring’ out after unwinding but winds and sets OK.

The wet suit extension seems different to on the Kermit (where you have to press down on a specific link) this is just in-place/always there.

From memory the crown seals look a bit different too (two thinner ones here vs one thick on the Kermit)

All looks good?
TIA

Try removing it and giving it a thorough clean. It also could need a new bezel spring.

Thanks all! I’m loving it. My first LN sub and a pretty clean one too. It’s one link short but that’s ok as I’ve got a donor oyster bracelet off a GMT II. Will take the bezel off next and see if it’ll loosen up any.

Pretty happy to have picked this up for £4750.
