Your Sub looks to be in amazing condition for a daily wearer. How many times has it been serviced and have you had it polished? I've never wished a watch happy birthday but... Happy Birthday little fella!

Wow that looks amazing for a 14yr old watch.

Have to admit i have looked after it, Was just an impulse buy all those years ago as i have always want to own a Rolex. Even have the original receipt for having two extra links fitted at £48.The new ceramic one I have worn just a couple of times.

As for servicing the first time March 2005 cost then for service £205 with an 8 week turnaround ! Then April 2012 cost £505

Looks great! I can't seem to hang on to a watch that long! I think my SubC may be the exception though.

Very nice

Very nice and in great shape! I bought a brand new 16613 U series on Jan 29 1999 (almost 15 years) and still have it today. While the newer Sub C have a bigger presence and better clasp I prefer the look of the older Subs but everyone has their favorite so go for it if its what you like...
