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

GolfJunkie · 19 October 2019, 02:13 AM

114060 for me.

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

kieselguhr · 19 October 2019, 02:17 AM

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

dafuture · 19 October 2019, 02:33 AM

114060, but only because of bracelet comfort.

GradyPhilpott · 19 October 2019, 02:53 AM

14060M

Montremoi · 19 October 2019, 03:07 AM

14060 with ceramic bezel and upgraded movement, is this too much to ask ?

JonTheKingJames · 19 October 2019, 03:08 AM

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

well with the upgraded milled out bracelet and glidelock too? Pretty much everything but the maxi case in my opinion.

jb335 · 19 October 2019, 03:16 AM

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.

dmdfromboston · 19 October 2019, 03:17 AM

Love this color combination .

14060M RRR for me

ltmgeller · 19 October 2019, 03:28 AM

I'd go for ceramic

Chewbacca · 19 October 2019, 03:35 AM

5513

Sandlapper1960 · 19 October 2019, 04:48 AM

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.

SydR · 19 October 2019, 05:38 AM

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.

brandrea · 19 October 2019, 05:47 AM

I tried vintage for a time owning a 5513 from 67 or thereabouts... it was a fantastic watch but somehow it felt a bit delicate.

I prefer the modern Sub for its case size and bracelet/clasp upgrades.

FrankNYC · 19 October 2019, 05:53 AM

14060 2-liner with Tritium dial for me!

I have a couple of the glossy dial versions of the Submariner 5513.

I love its simplicity and good looks. A great, no-excuses watch.

Seibei · 19 October 2019, 06:02 AM

114060 because of it's all around modern excellence.

tadbart · 19 October 2019, 06:39 AM

14060M. The ceramic and the new big case looks clunky to me. I'm not familiar enough with vintage watches to speak on the 4 digit.

In-Cog-Neeto · 19 October 2019, 06:40 AM

I’ll take the SD43

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.

Agree the Cyclops is a killer of the symmetry and beauty, balance of the sub.

Look up in the sky, its a bird, its a plane... IT's THE SUPERCASE!

Finslayer83 · 19 October 2019, 07:51 AM

I'd prefer this one:

- 6 digit case with thinner lugs
- 97200 bracelet
- matte dial with painted maxi indicies
- matte ceramic bezel
- lug holes

DwellerofSeas · 19 October 2019, 07:58 AM

I’d go with the 114 just on the bracelet alone.
