It's for the wife, she requested a Sub instead of an engagement ring...

Looks okay to me from a good seller and a reasonably good price. Anything I'm missing here?

A nice unpolished 14060M 4-liner would be ideal.

Tried on a couple of different ones, she wants the date one.

It is hard to tell, but has it possibly been given a light polish?

I would be going for an AD purchased/dated late model with as much of the 5 year warranty as possible, especially if it is going to be kept long term.

I think from the right AD you could get her a brand new one with her name on the card (not to mention 5-year warranty) for $500 more.

It doesn't matter. That's probably not a picture of the actual watch that will show up.

Didn't know he used stock pictures and thought he was a known dealer on TRF

Those TRF guys are a demanding bunch. It's definitely a good idea to let them vet sellers for you.


I'm being sarcastic.

too bad she wants a date one as I may sell my 114060 no date. Getting an itch...

Agreed they don't vet them, but I thought he was one of the trusted ones. My mistake if I am wrong. I have never bought from him, seems a bit pricey to me.

Shit disappears over there...you have to pay close attention.

He's probably mostly ok. He's definitely always expensive though.

DavidSW is a solid guy. I've bought a couple pieces from him and actually met him in person.

I'd still get a new one just for the hell of it.

So you're saying Jae has been in your shorts?

Jae, don't feel special....you're one of many.

Sorry, thoughts on one more here? Looks new to me but I have no idea how to spot fakes and the guy has no feedback.

Buy new. Your future bride is worth the few hundred extra.
