a sub date was my first rolex and I literally wore it every day for probably around 4 years so I very much sympathize

That is a great feeling to have! I will receive my Sub 114060, fairly soon I hope. I am really interested to see if it has the same effect on me as your's does. In a strange way, I am hoping so, as I really need to cut down the size of my collection. And the extra bucks wouldn't hurt either!

Anyway, congratulations and hope you continue to love that watch for a long, long time.

Cheers,
Carl

It’s a great watch I have one lol. One and lonely watch will fade haha. I started with an omega and Panera I then went to the sub and said I will be a one watch guy. 2 1/2 years later I just got an aqua terra to go with the sub.

I understand exactly where you're coming from. I keep looking at watches I like but always end up asking myself if it would realistically get any wrist time. Is the answer is "No," then it's a hard pass!!!

The Sub/Sub date is a great primary watch. If you want to add try a DD.

I completely understand! I haven’t worn anything else since I bought mine in early January.

I want to buy another watch but.....

I was extremely hesitant to get another watch to add to my 16610LN. I had the same concerns. Ended up getting my milgauss and now I primarily wear a sub, but on more dressy occasions / if I want a bit of contrast to the wrist I throw on the milgauss. Keeps me consistently excited and somewhat prevents me from itching for that next piece. Even though I still actively think about what I want next lol.

Almost purchased a Tudor GMT the other day, but the deal fell through and I decided to put the $ back in the bank, perfectly happy with the sub / milly combo. Next I just gotta delete this app off my phone and remove myself from the influence haha

I bought another watch just a little while ago. I’ve always wanted a TH Link and the current refresh of the line is superb. It reminds me of what it might look like if you smashed an Explorer and Datejust 41 together. I like it.

I completely understand your not wanting to remove your Submariner Date. In lieu of the new additions you can continuing wearing your "Favorite" I love wearing my Explorer Now, I am in agreement with Leooooo put a PM Submariner into a rotation with your Submariner Date. You'll be back in the High Life

BTW, other than the dark dial, I fail to see any resemblance of the Explorer in that Tag Heuer - but then I suppose it is my love of my Explorer that prevents such vision. - experience and biases affect our perceptions and conclusions.

Nice! I own 3 tags and sell them from an AD as a hobby job! Never sold a Link though. How do you like it! Nice piece

I am very impressed with it. It’s super comfortable, nice and thin and it’s keeping amazing time (+1 spd) tough to beat for around 2k.
