Help with 5 digit sub

I'm considering an older 14060m model Sub for the smaller profile, and hopefully better comfort.

I have found that the Explorer 1 & the Daytona are a much better fit for me than the modern ceramic Subs.

Size and profile wise, am I on the right track here?

Are there any red flags on this specimen?

Could use some help with market pricing as well please (private seller, d serial watch with box, papers and 2015 rsc service)

THANK YOU ALL!

If you like the fit of the Daytona and exp1, you will love the fit of the 14060. With regard to the specific watch you posted pics of, the resolution is terrible and impossible to give any advice.

My 14060m on my 6.75in wrist. Super comfy.

Looks good from here. Nice two-liner.
If I had to nit-pick anything, I'd say the crown guards are a touch on the thin side. Not enough to be a deal-breaker for me personally, but YMMV.

Help with 5 digit sub

Looks good from the pics (although I’m far from an expert in spotting flaws). I’ve had my 2-liner for almost 1.5 years and I haven’t looked back. It’s been on my wrist about 95% of the time when I’m wearing a watch. Everything from roughing it camping in the desert to surfing to diving to dressed up with a suit (hide your eyes dress watch guys!)— other than black tie I haven’t found a situation where the watch isn’t what I’d grab over anything else.

Good luck in your hunt!

I'm tempted!

What should I be paying for this one?

14060m?

One of our "Trusted Sellers" just posted one of these today. But, I like the one you found (Two Liner) Better.....
