Icon20 I think Rolex should.....

Hi guys

Do you think that Rolex will upgrade the Sub ND at basel 2012?

If they do I think they would put the same movement as in the Explorer 214270 (3132) and also upgrade the bracelet to the same as 214270. I also think they upgrade the bezel to the cerachrome and the maxi dial. BUT, I do not think they are upgrading the case to the same as SubC.

I would think if Rolex made this upgrades this would be my next watch for sure.

What do you think??

Only Rolex knows. One thing for sure is that it will have the same bracelet and clasp as the 116610s.

Not long to go to find out. Are you busy on the 8th of March?



(if Dino gets £1 per thread like this before Basel 2012, he'd be getting his 18k beauty next month... )

I think they should leave the Sub ND alone. It's great the way it is and it harkens back to it's origins. The 40mm case design, older bracelet, and lug holes are fine the way it is.

Yes- I hear they are going to get rid of the lug holes, add a date feature, new super case, glide clasp bracelet, and ceramic bezel.

You forgot about the new chronograph and second time-zone features

The 3132 is still basically a 3130 main difference parachrom and paraflex shock system its not a whole new movement.And regarding the 14060M sub the only good upgrade would be the SEL bracelet and perhaps the clasp.The ceramic insert functions exactly the same as the far cheaper to replace aluminium ones. So the only upgrade I can see in the ceramic is now its the latest watch bezel fashion, and the far higher price.
