Any suggestions for the 14060 on smaller wrists? The only two that I am aware of are breaking the link and inverting the bracelet. I am ready to give up on the 14060 and put it into cold storage solely because of the bracelet design.

I recall someone selling a Submariner 14060/14060M with a shorten bracelet. You may want to PM the seller and seek his help how to go about doing it? -
Nato or rubber straps?Don't trust anyone too much, even your own shadow leave you when you are in darkness.Comment

This is equivalent to breaking the link. The shortening described is the crudest way to shorten the bracelet at the 6 o'clock end.Originally posted by Oceanklassik View PostComment

Have you tried the 114060? The "thicker" lungs seems to frighten many potential buyers but in reality, most of them didn't even try the 114060 other than looking at pictures and reading comments.Originally posted by parchiao View Post
If you don't mind the 114060, in my opinion, its a better choice as the number of permanent links are lesser than the 14060 which means you can remove all add on links to get a good fit without doing what you will need to do with the 14060. The perspective once its on the wrist is totally different compare to when you are holding it or when its on display. Have couple of friends whom originally looking at the 14060 but converted to 114060 due to the bracelet issue. They said that they rather have the thicker lungs then destroying a perfect link though some shops can remove and fix back the permanent link as though it never happened.
Unless you are really not looking at any other options other than the 14060 then the next step is inevitable.

I have already swapped to the current 116600 Sea Dweller just because of the bracelet issue.
The 14060 (it is actually a 14060M) stays with me as I like the look of the previous generation of Submariners more than the current version. However, a solution for the 14060 bracelet is still something I hope to find.
Has anyone seen, read or tried changing the clasps?Comment

Hmm, I also have small wrist but I just need to remove 2 links for my 14060M. I heard that girls may need to cut the link to have a good fit.
Btw personally I prefer the 114060 look as it's more contemporary with contrast shadeComment

Yup! The newer bracelet is a better bet for ppl with small wrist!Comment

I finally found a solution for this. Managed to get my hands on a glidelock from a 97200 bracelet for top dollars and swapped the clasps. The watch now rests firmly on my wrists and the watch does not turn around the wrists even when it is loosely fitted.

Wrists too small for a Submariner
About 9-10 months ago I bought a 14060 and had the bracelet adjusted to the shortest length possible. However, despite that it was still kinda too big for my wrist.
As such, I decided to increase my food intake and started gymming regularly, hoping that it could help me get a better fit on my watch.
However, my wrist had very minimal progress, and I'm now trying to find an alternative fix to this if possible. Any advice?
Other than:
-Using a watch strap
-Cutting away the non-removable links
I'm considering replacing the clasp with that of a different bracelet (One without the Diver's extension). If this is possible, does anyone know which clasp would be ideal?Comment

The modern clasps from the ceramic submariners and explorers will do the job fine, but it will cost a bomb and are not easy to come by. Another option is to change the clasp to that used in a 16570.Originally posted by Xavier_GZY View PostAbout 9-10 months ago I bought a 14060 and had the bracelet adjusted to the shortest length possible.

Been searching for a few weeks, couldn't find any of these clasps for sale.Originally posted by parchiao View Post
Any SubC owners can tell me how many 'perma-links' are there on their bracelets, and is it more resizable as compared to the older 14060/16610s?
Currently considering the upgrade.Comment

Perm links on subc is 3 at 6oclock. It comes with a half link too for the ss version. So if u have a v small wrist u can put 3.5links at 6oclock.then u will be good to go.Rolex Submariner 116610LN

The best thing is to permanent remove one link.
Yes, it wont be visually that nice.
But it will fit perfectly comfy.
I permanently remove some links on a daydate and a sub so that my wife can wear them.
Of course i gave her the watches.
To be able to remove a permanent link shows character and commitment.
It also shows that you own the watch, not the other way
Changing the clasp may help but it frankens the watch and it wont give a centered fit.
The 114060 is never a replacemnt to the 14060
They are different watches with different dimensions weight and look.
Shorten the bracelet permanently.
Go for it.
No regrets.
Own it.
All the bestComment
