Incoming: Third times a charm!

I have a sickness. For whatever reason I flipped a 114060 Sub not once but twice... well I have finally added one back to the collection and it is not going anywhere!

Note to mods: If for whatever reason this watch gets flipped please ban me

Welcome home:

Awesome. It'd be tough for me to flip a classic like this.

Welcome home:

Been there done that. Just came to the realization that my tastes change. But then I miss what I had and try and go back.

I'm glad you got your baby back! I believe it wasn't the actual watch but the timing in which you had it.

Timing is crucial.

I've flipped a ceramic subc three times as well, but from date to no date to green... but to do it over the same exact watch is just wrong.

Such a clean and classic reference. I had one that I flipped to grab my BLNR. I added an LV to the fold as well and still miss the 114060.

Not to ruin the party BUT I've rebought the same watch on 4 different pieces. All 4 of them were later flipped again. There's a reason you parted ways in the first place. HOWEVER, this might be different..... but I doubt it. Enjoy it for now and IF you flip it, don't tell us so you won't get banned.

Neil, that's understandable, but to buy the same watch over and over is definitely sick!

Welcome back man! I too flipped it once, but as soon as I got it back I realized it's not going anywhere (unless of course I sell the used one I have now and buy a brand new one lol.)

Good decision but I feel left out.

I only bought mine once.

Enjoy wearing it once again.
