Thanks Brian one of these would fit in well with your diver collection.

Interestingly, I’m finding that it’s a bit easier to wear this one on the loose side is that’s your thing.

Again, I don’t know why and it’s early days with wearing ... but it just feels a bit slimmer on the wrist even though the folks who have shared measurements, say it’s exactly the same thickness

Thanks guys

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I feel a slight difference to the bezel action from the 114060.

I’m curious if anyone else here notices this. It has a similar crispness but less “sound feedback” ... maybe it’s just my hearing

I agree, they really are quite similar from a few feet away.

You'd notice a slightly different feel in the wrist ... at least I do, and think the 124060 wears a bit thinner for some reason.

Nice one Brian looks great congrats. Looking to add a date sub at some point however I don’t possess the necessary clout needed for AD so will buy one grey when the prices have established themselves.

Your house looks beautiful btw!

Where I do notice a difference so far is in "feel" on the wrist. For some strange reason, it feels slimmer to me and I can't quite put my finger on why. Perhaps the wider bracket foot print helps to create an imagine of the lugs curving in to the wrist but nonetheless the "feel" is a slimmer Sub at least to me.

IMO, the difference in clasp width is way overdone. Yes its slightly larger but on the wrist I don't notice it. I do notice the lug profile for certain. At this stage I can't say I prefer one over the other but time will tell.

I also believe the bezel markings look slightly smaller at least to my eye ... again that could just be me looking for small differences

Overall I really love what they've done with this one.

Caveat ...I agreed to gift my wife the lucky 3 Sub (why would I need both ) so we both came out winners today.

Oh and in case you're wondering ... its supposed to come in a medium box

I also still received the old style warranty card with my name etc.

The obligatory shots.

Now that's a proper incoming. You've confirmed all the forum fears....that there are NONE.
I knew people were picking a fight where there was none, the watch is honestly perfect now. The only reservation I have is the movement, keep us nerds posted on it's performance.

Wear in health.
Huge congrats:cheers. :
