does that mean that the LV will end? Do you think they'll do a green ceramic?

Good question, I can't wait to see.

who knows

The special thing about the LV is the maxi dial and hand and the new sub will have the dial and all maxi hands so what would be special besides the color of the bezel? This is why I think the LV along with the regular 16610 Sub and probably the no date Sub will be discontinued. It might not happen right away but not too long.

It would be a bit weird to see the 14060M go. Maybe it will also be replaced with a maxi-case, maxi-dial, ceramic-bezel, GlideLock variant...

If it is discontinued (and I have no idea) I'd think it would go the same route as the SD. Gradually as cases are used up. (same with the 16610 and 14060M)

Would that make it desirable? I have no idea, but I could see the reference being viewed as a type of "transitional" down the road.

We shall see.

I would rest assured that the current iterations of SUBs (and YACHTMASTERs), green or what have you, will continue for at least 3 more "letter series" so there'll be plenty for the next few years as the Supercases infiltrate the once seemingly peaceful non'blocky'hockeypuckedum bezels that the majority enjoy !

Thanks,

Curious why you think Rolex will produce both for three years? I don't see that at all???

Howie · 8 August 2009, 02:48 PM

The LV is a shortimer, grab one while you can....

SDDS · 8 August 2009, 07:28 PM

i think the green sub will stay as it is..but i hope if they can make the green bezel CERAMIC..that soo sexy..i will buy the bezel right away..

padi56 · 8 August 2009, 10:06 PM

IF IF IF just wait and see know one has a crystal ball who knows what Rolex will do.

zak98 · 8 August 2009, 10:13 PM

wait and see is always the answer...

Probably agree with you on 2 out of 3 points, but not the discontinuation of the sub 14060M. The 14060M is already a relic in comparison to other modern Rolex watches; it's not just a 16610 without a date.

Personally think this is a conscious decision by Rolex rather than an omission on the part of Rolex to "update" the sub 14060M. I don't see why this should change with the new models.

DadsWatch72 · 9 August 2009, 02:13 AM

I think the new sub will be retro and look like the 5513.

I think that is not a bad idea to keep making the 14060M but from a manufacturing standpoint I can't see them making two different cases for any length of time. I also don't think Rolex will want to keep a cheaper model around when they could be selling the new higher $$ model. So as much as I would like to see it; I doubt it.

Yeah that would be sweet too; but I would say that is about as likely as Rolex giving free trips on the bathyscaphe Trieste to the bottom of the Marianas Trench away with the purchase of every new Rolex Sub.

I agree, they won't be selling both, so IMHO it's whether they are going to make the green ceramic... My guess is no, and while there is no way to know for sure I bring it up because I've been to two AD's who completely contrict each other on the subject one said its dead for absolute sure and one said its coming out in Ceramic

I heard from a very trust worthy source that a very, very, very high person at rolex (as high as you can go in fact) was wearing a prototype new green sub which my informant ( :) ) saw in person.

C. Davidson · 9 August 2009, 05:19 PM

Green ceramic would be AWESOME!!! Now what shade of green would it be? Kelly? Emerald? Forrest? Olive? Lime? The possibilities are endless.

Judging by the shade of Blue on the new white gold Sub it will be washed out light green, if they do in fact make it. I would also say that just because a Rolex muckity muck had a prototype green model does not mean that it will make it to regular production.
