Old sub and sub C prices

[Mr. K]

Looking at he prices, it does appear that the older sub and the sub C prices are closer that I would have expected.

Any reason bub C behind this? The sub C being overpriced? The Older style being more sought after?

A grey dealer has the ND older sub and the ND sub C at the SAME PRICE. Note sure if it makes a difference that the older one was the chronometer certified on the dial thus being more rare.

I know many Rolex fans do not like he newer sub C and have many complaints about it, but would that really drive the price down that much?

I have both and prefer the Sub C, but both are outstanding timepieces.

Anyone trying to sell a 14060 for the same price as a 114060 is someone I would probably avoid. Unless the older model has an inflated price tag to go along with the ceramic model being banged up, I'd be pretty puzzled as to why they'd price them equally. The bracelet alone is reason enough to buy the new model.

Now if the 14060 was new-in-box, that'd be a different story. Someone might spring the extra cash for that.

I'm not sure I've read "many complaints" about the newer model, just people saying the like the older one better- which is a completely legitimate opinion, just not one that I share.

Grey dealer were seller both models NIB.

Just can't believe the sub C models are not selling for a LOT more than the aluminum relatives.

You can ask anything you want for anything you have.
What counts is what someone actually pays

Until I acquired my pre-C, ND Sub earlier this year, and then joined this site, I had no idea the strong feelings all around the different iterations of this great watch, but...

No Rolex modern day watch is rare, myself not a fan of any of the ceramic models. But there is know way I would pay the same price for the older model as the new ceramic model. And anyone that does IMHO must be sixpence short of a shilling, and with any watch the price is only to those willing to pay.

A sub is a sub is a sub.

The price of the old version Submariners are fully inflated. For years I am in the forums and you must be very careful because they are handled by professional sales and they grabb so unsuspecting readers. There is no reason that prices are so close .. including new models for the new bracelets and size. The models are so small visually and when you wear them notice they are so out of fashion. Even the daytona and only looks like a woman's watch. Do what you like ... do not believe everything you read .. and luck! IMHO.

Try to go to a reseller to buy your old version and nex tell me how much he offered to you....

It's funny you say this as a grey dealer here in the Uk offered me for my non date sub Z serial 2 liner then my 3 month old sub c non date. I found it remarkable but he found it all part and parcel of the watch game.

Love it, would make a great sig line with the addition placed above of... 14060M and 114060M

So I'm thinking a win win situation.

Fans of the old style watch their subs go up in value. Fans of the new subs can get some good discount deals on prices.

True, but it's all fantasies and beliefs but not the real world

I did a short video of the Raptor's maiden flight in the UK at the Royal Int Air Tattoo in Fairford. Incredible aircraft.

What about a MUCH older sub, like a 1680 or 5513?

Have you seen the prices on those?

[bayerische]

There's a screw loose on your SubC's bracelet.

I find them both as good.
