New Submariner No-Date
Hello -
I am new to this forum but not Rolex. I just purchased a new stainless submariner from an AD on Friday. So far I love this watch. I have a 1999 stainless and gold blue face sub and some other nice other watches in my small collection (GP, IWC, CWard). However, my first nice watch was a no-date sub I bought in 1995 that I subsequently gave to my nephew as a graduation present. I always missed the symmetry of the no-date dial and the classic tool nature of the stainless only model. This new model does not disappoint - the ceramic bezel with smooth action, much improved bracelet and overall heftier feel of the watch seems like a great update to an old classic. I know others may disagree with the tampering of a classic, but I obviously think Rolex has done a great job updating this most iconic of models. It's about 8 sec/day fast out of the box; I will break it in and see how it does. Best of luck to all. |

Congrats! no-date subs are my favorite. I've had 3 subs over the years, all with date. Go figure. My next one will definitely be no date

Newbie picture attempt
Thanks for the warm welcome. So far I'm very happy. I"ll try to attach a quick picture.
Adjustable band is killer. |

Perfect watch. I got mine from DavidSW on a whim a year or two ago and haven't looked back.

Only here do people get off on a Sub, no date. I didn't think anything about it when I acquired my 14060m a few years ago, but be assured, you have the modern descendent of the true Sub ;-) enjoy it!
Mine says welcome

I never cared for the 116610, but for some odd reason, the 114060 looks mahvelous.
