Official TRF 114060 Owners Thread

OK, I'll start it up. Don't judge until you have handled it in person. This is the perfect evolution of the Submariner.

To all who now own, or will own the Rolex Submariner 114060

-Eddie

The clasp on my 114060 is slightly different from my 116610lv and my 116619. The blades and body are about 4mm longer on my new 114060.

How about the lugs? I swear the lugs are TINY bit smaller than I remember on my 116610LN. But it could be because I have been wearing the DSSD for a month and my perception is distorted.

I'm stripping it down in the morning at my store and measuring everything. I'll post comparison stats tomorrow. It late and I'm tired.

I find the 114060 much more pleasing that the 116610 Sub. The dial appears more balanced and even appears larger to my eye (I know it's the same, just looks that way).

Congrats to those who are fortunate to have one already, enjoy!

Now, if only a "214060" in 42mm......

Beautiful watches guys!

Now Sam, you must find that watch and add it to your collection! A lot of people have it already and Rob will surely lend me his from times to times!

...Rob, my friend, I have a little something to ask you...

I'm in my hotel right now in Taipei, Taiwan. just picked up a new 114060 at one of the largest AD's here. They got their first two 114060's in this morning, I bought one for 10% off retail and tax free since I'm visiting with a US passport.

They have green subs, stainless daytona's, in all the AD's here. Taiwan is a WIS heaven!
