    Indeed - 14060. It's a cracking watch - I am not a fan of the ceramic, and prefer the older version. The alternative is a Deepsea / Seadweller, but they also wear thick and are overkill.

    I also have a 5512, which has a plexi and is my favourite, but I never wear it anymore. Plexi has been cracked and I damaged it when I changed the time on an aircraft flying to SA. I never tightened the crown and went in the sea...expensive mistake.

    Got a couple of nicer watches but not silly expensive. Swap between brown leather or silver strap depending on what colour shoes and belt I'm wearing.

    Think if I wore a Fitbit they might contact me to check it was functioning properly when I did 56 steps a week.

    You old fuddy-duddies still on about your watches? How quaint. When you're stuck at home who even cares what time it is!

    I quite like the glass bump; it's kind of synonymous with the Submariner in my mind. I bet that it gets scratched to buggery though.
