That’s nice! Congrats!

So I'm not going to post a bunch of pictures, they are all out there and with comparisons to the 114060 side by side. I'm just going to give you my day 1 thoughts on what may be in my mind the perfect sub to date (no pun intended)

Possibly the best proportion of any sub I've ever had - let me go down the line. 5513, 1680, 5 digits date and no date, Rail Dial Seadweller, 114060, 116610 and a couple of 2 tones. These are all beauties that have come and gone through the years of collecting and learning.

So in a nut shell for me, this new 124060 takes on a wearability of a slimmed down 114060 and spreads out over my 7 and 5/8 wrist more like my EXP II 42mm watch. I just can't say enough about the comfort ( for me anyway ) The proportions look like a modern nod to a classic 5513. The differences are subtle. Obviously from a spectator perspective no one would be able to visually tell the difference between the 114060 and this new model, the difference is clearly for the wearer.

So without going on and on - if the question in your mind is "why should I get this model, is it really different than the previous?" The answer is yes it is in spades. Now - if you already own a 114060 and are happy with it, do you need to sell your soul for this one right now? - Maybe not. For me, I currently did not have a 6 digit sub in the collection and with these minor case adjustments it really comes through for me in every way.

Cheers!

Congrats on a fantastic incoming. The new 124060 (along with the silver OP41) are my favorites of the Sept 2020 releases. The new Sub ND looks absolutely great. Enjoy it thoroughly, hope it brings you much watch-wearing satisfaction! -Rick.

A great watch and would ordinarily be well and truly on my radar if I were looking for a Sub as there's a lot that's right about it
Shame about the movement

I hope it serves you as well as your previous references

First off congrats on the watch. It looks awesome on your wrist.

I completely agree with your logic about getting this because you didn’t own a 6 digit version already. If I didn’t have a couple ceramics already, the 124060 would be at the top of my list. Enjoy the watch!

Can’t be put in a better way. Great watch indeed. Congratulation Brian, enjoy this beauty.

Ok, great points, you’ve convinced me to get one. Now which one? ND, Date, or Green?

Thanks Brian, I haven't been this geeked out in a while, it's as if they have finally done everything that I wanted in a modern sub - of course this is the wedding night...Honeymoon to follow....

Cool. I bookmarked the link so if my name is called up I can get one of these. I am on "the list" with two ADs here but we'll see what happens. I definitely will not pay ridiculous grey prices. My milestone is coming up in 18 months so I figure I have some time to let this all play out organically.

What rubber band is that? Looks great - 21mm I would assume?

Be careful of these and your rolex watch if being very active. I had one on another watch (skx) and it was ripped off my wrist while surfing (pin evidently released under intense pressure). I was pretty frustrated but learned a good lesson. These bands are fine for enjoying but really not suitable for more extreme activities.

Congrats

[travisb]

Congrats Brian! Completely agree with your take. The slight tweaks to the proportions make a noticeable impact on the wrist. Impressive.

[rmlovett1]

Congrats Brian!

[KBM]

Congrats, Brian, and thanks for sharing your thoughts. Really valuable insights, given your experience with Rolex divers.

Very nice, congratulations!!
