Rolex Submariner 14060 Owner Review : Cool, unavoidable and timeless

The "chronology" in the purchase of this watch is important, and yes, ... after having acquired the watch of my childhood dreams 5.6 years before, a blue Date 15200, with its crazy blue ... I was so happy with it that I had no need for another one, having worn it every day for 5 years without fail as if it were any Swatch ... then, came the moment ... when I dressed in black ... the Blue .... It was "crappy" .... And at the same time, when I saw all these people around me, often well worn .... Especially when it was "an old one", all the movie actors, singers, artists .... Everyone I admired had it .... It was not necessarily my favorite at first ... the proof is, I bought it after the blue one in the perfect size .... And then, one morning ... I had the money in cash stashed at home .... I was looking at a book of Steve McQueen photos, he had a No Date… and bam, here we go… I asked around who could get me 20 points… impossible in 2005… (I had a 20% discount on the blue one at the end of 99…) but I still managed to get the 10 points… Good!!!! €3290!!! It’s quickly forgotten 😁…. At the same time, I had seen a sublime Red Sub from the 70’s for €3800, in 2005 it was possible… today, they are easily worth 20 or 25,000… too bad… I was less daring… and then I wanted it to be mine… I would patina it myself…. And then, love at first sight…. For at least 5 years, I only wore the Sub… at the time everyone wanted it with the date… fashions change and have proven me right…. When people noticed that I had a Sub, I always suspected that it was a fake, and I explained to them, oh yes... it's really ordinary to wear that... disconcertingly ordinary... I almost apologized, it's impossible to have a fake, it's ridiculous, there have been millions of them... But deep down, I knew that it was the most desirable... I've known collectors with incredible watches... and who only wore their Sub every day... that's where I explained to everyone... what is a good watch???? The one you never put in a drawer... And especially don't buy similar models from other, cheaper brands... While continuing to dream of a Sub on other people's wrists... A purchase of a lifetime, that you never regret... And that I would have immense pleasure in passing on to my son later before he dies….😁it will create a lifelong bond if he doesn’t get hit….
