Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this forum. I haven't bought my first Rolex yet, but I think I've narrowed it down to the Sub-C, 14060M, or the Sea Dweller 11660.

I was wondering if it was relatively easy or tedious to change straps on the new Subs that do not have lug holes (without damaging the case). I talked to an AD today, and she told me that I probably could not change the straps on the new Subs. I'm not sure whether she was misinformed or not b/c I've seen alot of pictures suggesting otherwise. I appreciate your responses.

First, all three choices are classics, and would make an excellent first Rolex!

Now, you're right, the rep at your AD is misinformed.....

With the right tools and a little dexterity, changing a strap is relatively easy.
We have some great tutorials in the reference section if you do some searching!

Good luck on your hunt for a first Rolex!

The bracelets come off of a Rolex the same way they do with almost any other watch.. nothing special..

Lug holes make it sooooo much easier.

Tried NATO strap on my SubC last night. Quite easy to take off the steel strap; and curiously found that the strap bar of SubC is better than that for 116400GV, although both are 20mm!
