Applied logo yes, but this re-issue uses the new style applied logo (as seen in the Seamasters and POs. Vintage ones look slightly elongated.
This one uses the c1861 according to the press release.

Diazepam, all those all your watches??

You can still get them now while stocks last. I reckon it'll be a couple of months before the 114060 comes to Malaysian ADs.
Case in point, when I got my 14060M last year, they still had one piece of 16610 left.
Once they run out, you'll either have to go grey or used.

As for production, the 14060 was long in service before 2008; pretty much the same watch to me

Yeap, was about 18k last year. Used ones can be had for 12-14k, I think that's a real steal for a Sub.

Cartier Santos? I always thought that is a lovely watch for the fairer sex.

Haha I'm not too sure tbh. Mum has a quartz Santos which costs less than 10k, but she bought it a long long time ago.

Seeing yonggoh's Daytona reminded me - saw on WUS yesterday, the new rainbow Daytona is gonna cost a shocking 70k Euros apparently!
Also yonggoh, if you don't mind me asking, what credit card company did you redeem it from and for how many points?

Popped by Rolex KLCC to ask about the Tudor Black Bay. The girl there said it should be coming in April (so soon ) and will cost approx RM10,500 after discounts. Perhaps it is time to add another diver into the collection

I don't see why not, though I didn't ask coz I wasn't too keen on the Pelagos.

Here are some Italian reference prices from WUS

Hang Thai in BV2/SS2? Saw the Fortis because it looked exactly like the Mark XVI I was wearing that day

No love for the Langes?

Just got myself a Watchco SM300

Date one also on sale.

Thought it was quite good value considering how he's throwing in the mesh bracelet too.

Haha thanks
There goes my budget for the Tudor Black Bay though...

ck77,
Pity he couldn't get the big triangle dial. That'll really set it apart from the Watchco ones.

yonggoh,
Another Rollie?

Why don't you change it in Swatch shops itself? Shouldn't be that expensive right? Maybe RM15-25?
Or can just change yourself. Unscrew the battery cover (should be exposed at the rear), remove battery, pop new battery, replace cover and voila!

Personally, I'd put the Submariner down for beater, dive watch and vintage

Haha hang around this thread long enough and I'm sure you will in next to no time
Wear it in good health man

RM13k for a Sub Date with box & papers sounds like a pretty good deal. Personally prefer it with lug holes, but a Sub is a Sub
This one is definitely a keeper, take good care of it

As for the Omega, if you're serious on selling it, pictures and/or a link to a dedicated sales thread might help. You can always pop by Omega retailers to enquire about the polishing cost. I think they can do it locally.



I think some people managed to swap out the 16610's crystal with the 16660. Either that, or they physically removed the cyclops with a file or something.



I'm not sure what the current prices for 116610LNs are, but I don't think they will price the 114060 anywhere near it. Before the launch of the ceramic Subs, the Dates were approx RM4-5k more than the NDs. I'm guessing it'll be between RM20-25k.

So the big question - will you buy a PO-C or a SubC? I believe they're now about the same price.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it is the original Bond watch. The ceramic Subs of today are a far cry from the minimalist look of the Submariners of yore. It's more of a bling thing nowadays more than anything.
Personally, I'm really leaning towards neither because of how far they've departed from their tool watch roots. And a blue Seamaster without the wavy dial is, well, not quite a blue Seamaster is it?
If I absolutely had to, I'd probably go for the Hulk. At least for that amount of money, you're getting your money's worth in outrageous-ness and bling heh.

In other news, the newest addition to the family is here!



Looking forward to swapping straps with the Speedy's black Nato soon

You know what they say about idle hands...



ck77, thanks

Seen some pictures of Subs with leather straps, they look kinda odd IMO haha. I like it with either a black Nato or a Tropic rubber strap.

However, I personally don't think it's easier to change out the straps even with the lug holes. I remember having helluva hard time removing the spring bars for my Sub.
Furthermore, if you happen to scratch the case in the process, it makes it that much more obvious since it's on the outside. Maybe I no skill la

Kalist0,

Lug holes are the holes at the edge of the lugs where the spring bar attaches to the watch, as seen in the image below.
The older 16610s have it, newer ones don't.

Alpha?


Although I personally think you should just save up for abit more and go for a real Speedy
