Sub steel date black waiting now 7 months. Rumor is movement will be updated 2019. AD says 1 year left to wait. Will i be supplied SS with new movement? Or do I need to register interest for SS with new movement if I want that ?

You’ll automatically be provided with the new version.

KattenBaloo · 22 February 2019, 06:47 AM

That was what I hoped to hear.

lawrence1 · 22 February 2019, 07:16 AM

Waiting 7 months? For a sub? How many ADs have you tried?

Al1969 · 22 February 2019, 07:19 AM

I’d say you’ll probably get a NOS.

gccmd · 22 February 2019, 07:22 AM

Even if the movement is updated are you honestly even going to notice the difference?

rb250 · 22 February 2019, 07:29 AM

You will not get the new version if they even update it. If you do you will be waiting a couple more years if you are not a big spender at the AD you are buying from.

Not necessarily true. They could potentially still ship the old model until stock is depleted

I got a Sub from an AD in two weeks.

Verdi · 22 February 2019, 07:41 AM

It is my assumption that GMTs and Sub shall het the new 70hr power reserve movement.

Yes, 72 hour reserve is noticeable, right?
And will it not be more desiarable second hand?

My local dealer where I have purcahsed a Breitling superocean and sold a watch too. We have 3 AD in Sweden, only one here in my city.

Shamorai · 22 February 2019, 07:45 AM

Maybe ask your AD?

If it’s your daily, you won’t notice a thing.

For a Sumbmariner date, black, in stainless steel?? From AD? Mission impossible, fake news et al....

Yep, true.

Statistically, though, I think I’m correct.

Calatrava r · 22 February 2019, 08:14 AM

The big thing to me would be if they thin out the lugs to round out the overall look. That would be a big change I would like over the current maxi case. I would wait until Basel to do anything. I would also get a new AD, you have waited far long for a Sub.

Thanks, but stuck in small country with few ADs and main city Stockholm overpopulated with fashionistas who just wanna flash....

If any significant changes in the Sub it will not be available for another two years

Sounds like you’re getting bumped by others since subs come in quite frequently so if an update happens, you’re probably not goig to get one at all. Why not branch out to other ADs and see if they can get you one sooner. Waiting 7 months and being told it’ll be another year for a sub is translation for “you’re not getting a watch from us”.

mjclark32 · 22 February 2019, 08:34 AM

You'll probably get the updated one.
If the 116610/114060 is discontinued I doubt Rolex headquarters would ship one out.

You won't notice a greater power reserve unless you take it off for 3 days.
There has been debate that the new movement will be less desirable (there's a thread) and it has been said the last of the 3135 Submariners will be a great watch to have.

Oh.. and I got a 116610LN from my AD after a whole 7 days - a week before Christmas

.

KattenBaloo · 22 February 2019, 08:44 AM

Hmmm, i did ask same AD to order any GMT II or Daytona. Response, waiting list closed. New orders not accepted.

Is it just me, Europe or what? In USA you seem to get these like Seikos??

thesharkfactor · 22 February 2019, 08:51 AM

I'm in central Scotland.
I think you need to find another AD.. and sadly you won't have done yourself any favours asking for multiple watches. My advise is to reach out to another local AD (or the next nearest one) and ask for a Submariner Date only.

I got a submariner date black in stainless steel in 5 days in the UK from Watches of Switzerland (Glasgow). Picked it up last weekend. My first Rolex and love it.

Also back in October I saw a Sub ND and a Sub Date at an AD in Florida, USA.
