I was actually browsing for a used DeepSea when I came across a Submariner no date 14060. Normally I ignore older Submariners since they wear a bit small compared to the current model, but this one really caught my eye because of the drilled lugs. That's a bit of a killer feature; I really think that's the one thing that's missing from my Black Bay, for example.

Anyway, I was comparing it to the 114060, but pictures can only tell you so much. Anyone here have a 14060? Or both?


vs.


On one hand, the 114060 does look thoroughly modern without losing the Submariner aesthetic, but drilled lugs and a vintage Submariner might not be the worst thing in the world. Is the bracelet really crappy on the 14060?
