Pretty straight forward poll. Which one would you choose? And any reason why?

114060 for me.

I like the modern 6 digit case, bracelet and dial. Simple as that

I am with you 114060 is a beautiful, well balanced watch , love it , even way more than the subs date. Actually I would love to see the 114060 in blue or green.

114060. Given a choice, modern over vintage for me personally

114060, but only because of bracelet comfort.

Yes! This is what I want too. 14060M with 3130 movement (COSC certified) and all the above. Is that really too much to ask? Come on Rolex!

That’s like asking do you prefer a 1995 Ford Explorer or a 2019 Ford Explorer ... obvious which is better. 114060 all the way.

That is a false equivalence. Cars and watches don't age the same way.

And to be honest, I'm much happier with my 2002 Chevy Silverado than I would be with a 2019 model. The current trucks have gotten too big and unwieldy in my opinion. Comfort and reliability trumps bigger and newer for me.

14060M all the way for me. Not a fan of the wide lugs.

Shocked by poll results so far. My preference are exactly the opposite.

5513 first, 14060 next and 114060 last. Don't care for a 4 line ND with a super case.

Exactly. I was sure the 5513 would be ahead.
I own a 14060 and a 116610, but would happily trade the 14060 for a nice 5513.

The 114060 ! The ceramic bezel, bracelet and glide-lock clasp make it look and feel more robust, while still maintaining the classic Submariner look. There is no denying it’s heritage !!

Pretty straightforward answer ... the 114060. The reason? It’s perfect (and “straightforward “)

I would have a 5 digit for sentimental reasons, it was my first Rolex and I bought it new, my name on the certificate etc...should never have sold it.. that and I own a 6 digit date so the two would work well together.

My 114060. Nice clean look and comfortable to wear. The black means I don’t need to think about what colours I’m wearing.

I’m not a fan of TT watches or the cyclops date ‘bubble’ seen on others.
