Here's its last known picture. Then it was packed into a box by the very nice FedEx guy and shipped to it's new owner. I can't wait for the return package!

autohorology · 26 November 2014, 10:56 AM

So classic. Where's this return package at with the pics?? :)

Rags · 26 November 2014, 10:59 AM

Awwww so sad to see it go..Can't wait to see the new one..

watchwatcher · 26 November 2014, 11:12 AM

Any hints on what's coming?

Rashid.bk · 26 November 2014, 11:49 AM

Hard to beat that one......So you're getting the date version?

sea-dweller · 26 November 2014, 11:49 AM

Cannot wait to see the new one!

Nycturbovr6 · 26 November 2014, 12:53 PM

Sad to see it go. Always a a true classic

lapince · 26 November 2014, 12:55 PM

I have had the date in black, flipped to get the Hulk, very nice but wonder if I'm not gonna get bored of it, and I really like the non date, actually prefer it to the date version...

Hairdude1 · 26 November 2014, 01:32 PM

One out, one in!

Chewbacca · 26 November 2014, 01:38 PM

LV or BLNR is my guess.

congrats!

mrallen13 · 26 November 2014, 02:00 PM

You're right Rashid, it was hard to let go. I've been searching for the 'one' or really the 'main one' since I'm not going down to one watch if I can help it and flipped a lot of watches in the process. My DSSD was the closest I've come so far, but I finally came to grips with the fact that it isn't a 'one watch' watch and let it go - although I think it might come back some day as a second watch.

I never warmed up to the new lugs. Even the slightly thinner GMTc lugs look better to my eye. So, I've been looking at a few options. PO, GMT, ExpII and SDc. After a bunch of time in the Hong Kong airport with every watch brand known to man last week, I finally decided.

The new SD will be here on Friday hopefully. I didn't like it the first time I had it in hand, but over the last 6 months, it's really grown on me. It's not my perfect watch, but it's close.

I'll post up some pics once it gets here.

Laszlo · 26 November 2014, 02:05 PM

Sad to see it go. I sold mine a while back, wish I still had it.

Can't wait to see what returns!

boost2perfection · 26 November 2014, 02:06 PM

I could never get rid of my sub but I can't wait to see what you are pickin up

ltmgeller · 26 November 2014, 02:07 PM

Let's see the incoming.

cop414 · 26 November 2014, 02:09 PM

Congrats in advance, can't wait to see the new one!

GB-man · 26 November 2014, 03:50 PM

Damn I hope it is a hulk otherwise you've lost me

mjclark32 · 26 November 2014, 04:40 PM

Congrats on the SD!

DCheeta · 26 November 2014, 05:10 PM

Congrats! If you're going to trade away a 114060, the Sea Dweller is the one to do it for. You're going to love it!

rolex_DateJust · 26 November 2014, 06:59 PM

The 114060 is nice but I think the SDc is even nicer. Great upgrade imo. Post pics when you get it and hang in there for the wait.. It will be totally worth it

Bangel · 26 November 2014, 07:58 PM

Congrats in advance.

travisb · 26 November 2014, 08:03 PM

Congrats on the incoming!

OmegaJJH · 26 November 2014, 10:27 PM

Looking forward to some pics!

brandrea · 26 November 2014, 10:30 PM

Congratulations on the incoming SD, that sounds like a gut wrenching decision. The upside is that SuBs are very easy to replace .

mrallen13 · 27 November 2014, 07:23 AM

Confirmed for Friday! Anyone else ever find that the only time they mind holidays and weekends is when it interferes with a watch delivery?

Yes I hate when that happens! Lol

TimeOnHand · 27 November 2014, 08:04 AM

I think you will love the new SDC

Racerdj · 27 November 2014, 08:16 AM

Can't wait to see the SD!

anothernewphone · 27 November 2014, 11:01 AM

I had the old Sea-Dweller, then the 114060. I prefer a date if it's offered, so I flipped for the 116610, and then the 116610LV. I finally decided that the lugs were too much for me, and went back to the GMT Master 1675. The Daytona, however, is the best of both worlds - modern and svelte.
