My salesman at the local AD is my friend and messaged me this morning that he just got in a 114060 ND Sub and he would hold it for me if I wanted it. I would love to grab it even though I bought a new Air King from him 2 weeks ago but I don’t want to miss out on some new amazing piece released at Basel because I just busted my nut on a Sub. Legit dilemma. Haha

i would purchase. even if something interested you from Basel this year, it will be difficult to get and will probably take a very long time.

SearChart · 17 February 2018, 05:57 AM

Get it and just flip if something more interesting is introduced at Basel.

This!

You may want to wait. If something new is announced the 114060 will be old news

In my opinion nothing will ever replace the Submariner. It's iconic.

Etschell · 17 February 2018, 05:59 AM

so buy it.

Ballzzz · 17 February 2018, 06:01 AM

Who cares about Basel if you like & want the watch, buy it.

MeWatchYou · 17 February 2018, 06:02 AM

Totally agree... the 114060 would be old news? How come?

There's a contingent of members who don't like the super-case and swear if Rolex releases a more slimmed-down successor, the current model will become instantly passé and a pariah among collectors. Some have referred to this phenomenon as a "maxicase bloodbath."

Mousehunter · 17 February 2018, 06:13 AM

2 issues
1). If there is an upgrade to the model, it will come at a cost. You can lock in the price today, or wait and possibly get a more expensive watch later. I seriousl doubt current buyers will be left out to dry.
2. Do you want this watch and would it preclude you from purchasing something later this year? I kind of like Batman, but if Coke comes out in SS pretty sure I would regret buying Batman as I don’t think I would want both at this point.

I am in your boat. I want a LV, but fear a change to a slightly more desirable upgrade. In the end, I am on lists that I don’t expect to be filled before Baselworld. If I get a call next week, I might roll my dice and take my chances with a watch in hand.

Speed · 17 February 2018, 06:15 AM

Buy it now.

IF...and that's a big IF...some mind-altering watch comes out in March...You'll be lucky to get one by Summer or maybe XMAS for top dollar. And, you could be dead by then.

I want a 116610ln but I’m waiting until Basel. If it was half a year away or something it’s one thing, but t’s only like a month away at this point so I’ll go against the herd and just say I’d wait.

Loevhagen · 17 February 2018, 06:34 AM

Wait until Basel 2021.

Get it...Great watch!

christopheran · 17 February 2018, 06:40 AM

I’d buy it now if you really like the watch.

Busyboy · 17 February 2018, 06:44 AM

If what happened to the previous Daytona, when the new one came out... Is anything to go by.

Buy now

Not sure what happened to the Daytona C will happen with any other watch BAR a new SS Coke maybe

Skipper2101 · 17 February 2018, 05:42 PM

I was in a similar situation as op. For the above mentioned reasons I decided not to wait based upon speculation. I purchased the 114060 the moment the AD put it the display case. I have no regrets. It is a fantastic daily wear watch and I could not be happier.
