124060 or 14060M (one has to go)

[GrantD]

I much prefer the larger case and glide lock.

(car maintenance/accident, 2 sets of braces, kids extracurricular activities, etc…) I don’t want to deplete savings or go into debt so I’ve decided I should go back to only having/wearing one watch.

A little back story, I bought my 14060M second hand 8 years ago and it is my first “nice watch”. I wore it daily until this June when I got the call for my 124060. I have been wearing it daily since I got it and I’m not sure I’m out of the honeymoon phase yet (which could be clouding my judgement here.)

So, I’ll pose the choice to you TRF. Which one should I sell?
Pros/Cons listed below.

14060M - Pros
- First “real” watch
- Paid a little more than half of the 124060 for it
- Been my daily for nearly a decade
- Lots of fond memories with it
- Light on the wrist, hardly notice it’s there most of the time

14060M - Cons
- Not as legible as 124060
- Needs a service
- Movement tends to magnetize easily

124060 - Pros
- My first from the AD
- Glidelock is amazing
- Extremely legible
- Outstanding proportions for my wrist size

124060 - Cons
- Noticeably heavier/taller than the 14060M
- Not fond of the text/SN on the rehaute or the shininess of the bezel

Sorry about the pic. I don’t know why all of my photos upload that way.

2 things

Ceramic Bezel in pics appears somewhat matted vs shiny, more similar to the 14060 than I thought, do you have any wrist shots in sunlight?



Also, I used to have the same issue with pics, a work around if you choose is to edit the photo and change and save the orientation twice. First other than upright and then second save upright or as you would like it to present.

I sold my 14060m for a new Sub in late 2017. I started to miss it so bad I bought another one two years ago.
