    I think the 2-line tritium 14060 is underrated. Love the purchase - would love it even more with better pics!

    No-date 5-digit Sub is a solid all-around choice.

    Good luck and wear in good health.

    blurry pics, but the bezel looks to be a replacement. The 4 in 40 looks to thick, but just might be the pictures.

    Thank you. I will be sure to post some better pics tomorrow. Its also my second favorite, couldn't afford the '83 5513 I wanted, so the 14060 is the next best thing.

    Is a bezel replacement bad?

    Slightly better picture than the previous too, its definitely well worn, which is nice for a vintage watch.

    Lovely Sub. Good luck with it! Enjoy it. I've had my TT Sub for over 9 years now and I still catch myself staring at it whenever I wear it

    Thank you
    So far I have noticed the clasp isn't staying closed, the folding lock is loose and the main clasp doesn't close at all, so going to to store purchased from to get it looked at.
    Also a chip in the sapphire, going to get it looked at, the store I bought from had a slighter newer 1995 model, might exchange for that, if it doesn't have the same issues.

    Decided to keep the one I got, the clasp was fixed. They offered to replace sapphire with aftermarket sapphire, decided against it as I wasn't to try and keep things original. If I want to replace the sapphire I'll go to Rolex or an authorized repair shop to get it done.

    Thank you. It was a present to myself in honor of my engagement.

    They kept wanting to polish and I'm like no no I like the scratches

    Obligatory wrist shot

    No-date makes all the difference. A very appealing watch.
