I got a chance to look at and try on a 114060 yesterday for the first time.

I have to say that it is a very attractive watch and for some reason far more appealing to me than the date versions, which still look quite awkward to me.

I'm not really a fan of the super case at all, but I love the maxi-dial and the 114060 in it's totality.

I'm still very happy with my 14060M with the updated movement and the "tuna can" clasp is more than adequate, even preferable, for me.

While I'm an older case style enthusiast I must admit the maxi cases and dials do have their charm and the 114060 does look very nice!

Thank you for sharing that little review Grady, perhaps owners will soon chime in with pictures of their beauties!

I hope to see one soon - just haven't noticed any around my stretch.

Rags · 22 November 2012, 12:10 PM

I'd like to try one on. It might me my next one but don't tell my wife.

sleddog · 22 November 2012, 01:09 PM

A fantastic piece........
The balance of maxi dial and case, coupled with symmetrical dial and solid bracelet, make this watch a dream to wear, and stare!

very nice! definitely a new classic... for the next 50 years... curious to read a detailed side by side comparo vs. the BB... from an owner of both...

That's growing on me Rob!

You know Bill, I'm a big fan of the divers line up with Rolex, and this one seems to dig deeper and deeper in my heart the more I wear it.
I loved it when it was first introduced at Basel, and knew I'd have to take one home when it was out.
The day I bought it home, I was excited, and that feeling has not changed one bit.
Something about this watch just oozes 'serenity', if that adjective could fit a watch??

I still enjoy wearing my older dateless brothers to this model, but have grown to appreciate the newer styling more whilst wearing this.

Certainly one to try on Bill!

This is PERFECTLY said. Exactly how I feel. It's a stunner.

Rocco22 · 22 November 2012, 01:52 PM

My favorite rolex so far. It is absolutely beautiful.

DJJon · 22 November 2012, 02:27 PM

Yes I have tried it on at AD and will continue to contemplate it as my first Sub.

A true beauty.

Roley · 22 November 2012, 02:39 PM

Rolex nailed it!....Stunning perfection!....A must have in my collection.

HongNinja · 22 November 2012, 02:58 PM

Yessir. It's a beautiful watch. Still in honeymoon phase with mine.

samuel019 · 22 November 2012, 03:04 PM

This one is definitely a keeper!

Zed Homme · 22 November 2012, 11:21 PM

Grady, when are you getting one?

I have the same experience when I look at the new subs. I like the blue and green, but the black with date doesn't quite feel right. The new 114060 looks perfect. IMHO it may be the best SS Rolex since the gmt2c.

I'm saving for a car right now and I'm pretty close, so no watches until I get a few more grand.

I will say that when I go to the AD, my resistance gets mighty weak.

I'm not sure what my next one will be, but it probably won't be another Sub.

I thought you were considering an Explorer II a while back?

Back on topic, the 114060 is growing on me more and more. I always thought if I went for a no date sub I would go for the 14060M, but now I'm really not sure.

I guess if I already had a 14060M I'd be happy with that. If I didn't own a 14060M, I would probably go for the 114060.

mjclark32 · 22 November 2012, 11:25 PM

Sure looks good, hope to see one in the wild soon

SALTY · 23 November 2012, 04:21 AM

sleddog, I love my 14060M, but that pic grabs my eye!

joe100 · 23 November 2012, 05:07 AM

The Sub is nice but I still think the GMT is the one to get.

louie · 23 November 2012, 05:27 AM

I absolutely LOVE it! Yeah i'm on honeymooning with her now...

Nidal · 23 November 2012, 05:45 AM

The ultimate classic. No bumpy cyclops from 50 s.

superdog · 23 November 2012, 06:17 AM

I love it

rolexperfect · 23 November 2012, 06:52 AM

I like it but why can't I like it more than the 116610? But anyway, a great looking watch. That cerachrom bezel looks great in the wild... reflecting the natural/day light, an eye catcher.
