[SummerCool]

Is that true? I heard that this afternoon.

[Oyster1982]

Yes it has the 14060M has been replaced with the 114060M which has the newer style case with wider lugs, cerachrom bezel, and the SEL bracelet with updated glidlock clasp.

[SummerCool]

As above

[bigbear]

not only has 16040m has been discontinued but
they have disappeared from all AD stores.

[superdog]

Two available by me. Pm me if you want information.

[SummerCool]

Does anyone get the pictures for both old and new submariner?Linzjnr, thanks! I have no idea about those "wider lugs, cerachrom bezel, and the SEL bracelet with updated glidlock clasp", pretty new to Rolex.

[SummerCool]

what is the difference between "cerachrom" and ""ceramic" bezel. they look the same for me.

You can't. A serial number tells you nothing; it is simply the unique identifying number for each individual watch..

However, you cannot mistake one watch for the other.. They are completely different except for the family resemblance...

Cerachrome is Rolex name for ceramic...

i saw one in local jewlery store, but i am not sure when it came out.

There are a couple AD that still have the 14060m.

If you want to see what the biggest difference you can look at a current date model sub. Basically it is he same watch with the date function and should give you an idea of what to expect. Then you can compare that to the 14060m to see which you would like better.

You could also just check here http://www.rolex.com/en#/rolex-watch...new-submariner

and then compare that to this http://www.rolex.com/en#/rolex-watch...l-m14060m-0004

thanks, LeslieC. Personally, i can not tell the difference. They look identical...

if you look at the case...the ceremic version looks much squarer/wider..the bezel marking for the ceremic version appears to have the '3D' effect...as far as my limited knowledge on it..the ceremic version should be available round september..

Almost every AD I've been in the past few months have had one in the case and I know 2 stores had them in the safe. I saw 2 in AC yesterday.the only AD I've been to in the past 3 months that didn't have one was in Rome, GA and that probably 12-15 ADs.

I'm sure when you see them in person you won't think that anymore. They look as different as the 16610 and the 116610 look. I think it might just be the pictures that makes it hard to tell. With the maxi case and dial, no lug holes, ceramic bezel, and the updated bracelet you won't have trouble telling the difference once it's released. The 114060 hasn't been released yet and probably won't be until September at the earliest.

[azguy]

OP, you need to go see and AD and get some education and/or look at tons of pics

[Stevieb]

I've reserved a 14060m with my local AD here in the UK and am going on Saturday to buy it

[rhino77]

Nice one , we will have to start a uk 14060m owners club!

[garyfromleeds]

The price might give it away ?

Sounds like an excellent idea!

I was going to sell my Breitling Steelfish to raise money to put towards the Sub but her indoors says I can have both There will no doubt be a price to pay in the non too distant future

My timing appears to be good as Rolex prices are increasing later this month

[Stevieb]

Picked up my 14060M today....................a fantastic watch. Very happy with the price that I paid and it is a pleasure to wear

[rhino77]

Get some pics up steve.

[jsonorous]

I'm a fan of the 14060M!

[Wooster]

Today I was visiting Jade Galore in Milpitas, CA (a Rolex AD). To my surprise, they had one of the old versions in stock. Go get 'em if you like.

Stevieb the more you wear it the better it looks and feels. The early feelings of a tinny bracelet soon evaporate when you realise how comfortably it wears. Had mine 6 months and wear it every day.

Besides the square fat lugged case look at the crown guards - completely different.
