So what is the point of the question?

The Explorer was corrected after six years. The GMT's supercase design was 13 years old last year when Rolex doubled down on it with no significant aesthetic changes. The Sub's design will be 12 years old next year - and, as we've seen, is not appreciably different from the GMT's. You're entitled to your opinion, but at least get your facts straight.

The ceramic Sub is awesome and the maxi case isn't a big deal. Its a matter of taste, not fact.

Was just curious....if you like the current model, why are you inquiring about updates...buy it.
And by the way...it’s their and tough.

About 2 months ago I seen a six digit sub 116610LN in a grey dealers window and completely fell in love with it. I’ve no idea what happened to my thinking overnight. I sourced out a brand new 6 digit sub and absolutely love it.....I actually appreciate my 5 digit sub even more now.....absolutely love both 5 & 6 digit subs......you can’t fail with either one you choose. If I had to choose one of the the 2 I’d go with the 116610LN.[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190416

my two Sub 14060/116610LN ...... both are winners

Thank you JS. I didn’t say they changed it in 24hrs either.

No, you made an inaccurate comparison as a means of advancing your opinion. You also made it in affirmative response to a blatant falsehood. It's fine to have an opinion, but when you distort facts as a means of "proving" it, you've crossed into spreading misinformation.

I owned both BLNR and SubC and they wear identical to me but the Sub a little too heavy. The case are identical.

I always thought the BLNR was slightly more tapered and it even felt smaller when I tried one on next to the ceramic no date, but looks like you're right. If there's any difference it's only a fraction of a millimeter identifiable at 10x magnification.

No, you are taking this way too seriously. What I do know is that the Explorer mark I is the only Modern Rolex where you can have the hands and dial changed to the mark II by Rolex themselves. If that isn’t a concession of a mistake, I don’t know what is.

Also the maxicase Submariner is the most polarising design in recent Rolex history. I’m not the only one that dislikes it and am probably in a significant minority.

Before you jump again, have a think, we are talking about watches, not how to solve world hunger.

Have a good Easter break.

I like the maxi case would bet the Submariner will have the updated movement next year.

I’ve got a 114060, huge fan

Is it Maxi Case or Super Case or no official term??

Especially after the sd4k with it's more classic shape which was not exactly a slam dunk for rolex.

If you want timeless, instantly the 116610LN comes to mind. You can also find one relatively easy compared to the other hyped models. I wouldn’t worry about it getting updated, what more can they do besides a longer power reserve? I vote SubC Date.

The brick??
