Hello, I am new to the forum. I am really looking forward to Basel 2012 and expect to see the new 114060M Ceramic.

What do you guys think of this picture I made? That would be my dream Sub.

I like it!

Looks great to me! It is a cool twist to put it in a 42mm case, but it would have to be totally different than the EXP II case to account for the Triplock crown. If we do see a 114060M this year, I think it will most likely be in a 40mm supercase.

Copy that.

I'll stick with my old-Skool 14060m, though... Viva Los Lug-Holes!

42mm for me and I'm sold.

X2, I love it. I have been holding out for that watch for a bit now, my fingers are crossed for a 42mm Sub.

I sold my Sub C because I don't like the case, the Explorer II case is nice and with the 21 mm bracelet, it's proportions are perfect.

Welcome to TRF.

I can hear the complaints now. Geez it cost $$$$ for a Sub ND. I sure wish they hadn't done any updates.

Lion · 21 January 2012, 08:46 AM

Personally I would like to see Rolex keep the Sub ND as is.......

I think it looks great but I don't see any difference with the 40mm sub case...

Looks good to me.

If it goes into a 42mm case, I will be all over it. However, it'll destroy the sales of DSSD.

Do you think Rolex would compromise sales of its biggest single sports seller 116610 with a 42mm 114060 Greg?

I don't think the Sub C would be compromised at all - seems like there are two distinct schools of thought when it comes to Subs. Some like the date function, and others prefer the symmetric, clean dial. I don't find many people deciding between, say a 16610 and a 14060 - typically their minds are made up. I do, however, see more and more folks having a hard time deciding between the ceramic GMT II and a Sub...

That puzzles me, too, but it is indicative of how differently we perceive the watches we own. I tend to first look at function and the form that follows that function. If I find the form appealing and the function in concert with my needs, then it's a winner.

I might want a Sub and a GMT, but the dilemma would not be about form (an emotional matter), but rather function (a logical matter), which is easily settled with an analysis of needs.

It should be noted however, that my first two Rolex purchases, the Explorer and the DJ, were based more on emotion than logic, as the Sub would have been the most logical first Rolex for me to own, however in both instances, it was a matter of the heart and not the head.

I broke with my own philosophy when it came to Rolex, so I guess I should not be overly critical.

Tools · 12 February 2012, 03:40 PM

I don't expect them to change the Sub at all.. They haven't done any of the same upgrades yet, so why would they suddenly do everything at once...

Heck, it doesn't even have an SEL bracelet yet, and still sports those old holes through the lugs....

Nope, can't say as I would expect a ceramic one any time soon...

Jannal · 21 January 2012, 10:34 AM

GradyPhilpott · 21 January 2012, 10:40 AM

I'm sure glad I've got mine already.

I don't have to sweat future updates at all.

Rolex can do with the Sub what they will now and it will affect me not one whit.

In my opinion, I already own the perfect Sub.

I like the case!!! It's not the new "Luggy" one...

SS Oyster · 21 January 2012, 11:55 AM

I gotta say ... looks great! Especially if it had lug holes.

GuyC · 12 February 2012, 03:37 AM

I think the ND sub should be left as is.....

imho that pic simply show us how could rolex had done better their new ceramics submariner only preserving the old style lugs instead the wider ones...

unfortunately i think that this pic will remain only a dream,the new no date will be exactly the 116610 without the cyclope..
