This may have been asked and answered.....

But I am not aware, either way. Does anybody know if Rolex is going to continue production with the Sub nodate 14060M for a ceramic version? Maybe a 114060M?

March is D-Day for the 14060M. The Basel world show will dictate its future from what I heard around here.

I'm afraid I don't have the answer but since they released a lot of ceramic versions of the other Submariner's models as well as the GMT's models it may very well be the case for this one. Just my hypothesis tho!

Maybe, maybe not. I'm sure there will be an update at some point, the only question is when. Only the 14060M and the Yacht-Master are in need of updates now

What about the TOG? Do you think they will make a 41mm version of it too?

I wouldnt think so I do not believe the TOG sells well enough to justify making another size in it. just my .02

Like David, I have my doubts. It wasn't a strong seller, and I honestly can't remember the last time someone enquired to me about one. I know it's an important historic model with its evolution to the Submariner, but the modern model bears little resemblance to the original...maybe it is time for the watch to be rested for a period of time. It was only updated a few years back, which makes me think we won't be seeing a new one in March

Agreed. most people that need a rotating bezel get a Sub, YM or GMT unless they want a dressy watch with a turning bezel.

I hadn't thought about the diameter changing. Maybe with the 44mm SD and 40mm Subdate, the Sub nodate might come in at 42mm. That would be interesting. Rolex would then have all the popular sizes covered.

The 14060 M is in the latest Rolex Canada catalogue, released about a month or so ago.

I think the 14060M is just fine the way it is. Time marches on however, we'll just have to wait and see.

If it's a Rolex magic ball then we'll all be waiting some considerable time...

No reason to update this classic, some things are best left untouched as a tribute to the past
