Hello everyone
Going to purchase another sub as I don't have one anymore.

I really want a sub on a leather nato/Zulu so I was considering going for the 14060M as I've found new old 2010 stock.

The cost is close to ceramic but do I go for old(new) or new ceramic?
Images would also be great if you have either of the dateless subs on leather?

Not a NATO but my 14060 usually lives on leather. Love the older model for the vintage look and the lug holes for strap changes

5 digit for sure!!
2 lines=great
4 lines=great x 2
IMO

Ste_J · 1 March 2016, 07:58 AM

For me old. Purely down to the taper of lugs; be it nato, leather, rubber or its own bracelet for that matter!!

If the cost is similar to ceramic i would get the ceramic and you can sell the sub c bracelet if you really dont want it for a chunk of money. People really go after that glide lock clasp if only to put it on other models like the GMT

rmlovett1 · 1 March 2016, 08:00 AM

5 digits fit natos or leather better IMHO. much narrower lugs to match the 20mm straps.

What sort of money do the bracelets fetch?

That looks cool

Not quite sure. I would guess around 2k for a new complete bracelet with glidelock. Could be wrong

sco · 1 March 2016, 08:14 AM

I'd go new...

I would go 14060m, but not NOS if it means a massive hit on resale value.

rollee1 · 1 March 2016, 08:23 AM

5 digits on leather is unbeatable, because of comfort and versatility.
Canvas strap looks amazing as well.
2 liner is cleanest and that's the one I'll go with.

Caution that Nato scratches caseback, make sure to tape it up by gaffer (cloth - no marks) tape.

X2. There are so many good examples available.

Jack T · 1 March 2016, 10:51 AM

love my 'm' and only by chance did I acquire it, much the same way as you, NOS back in 2013, before I was aware of the cult surrounding the non ceramic models as well as the no date devotees. Anyhow, I'm glad I've got this model, surely you will find a nice one to your liking.

rollie · 2 March 2016, 02:17 AM

What should I be paying for say a 2010 sub still with all seals in place?

capote · 2 March 2016, 02:30 AM

As much as I am an advocate of 5 digit Rolex: The ceramic submariners looks really good on a nato, the wide lugs gets toned downed somehow.

I've found this 1971 Sub 1680 just had full service by Rolex. Thought it may be a contender as its my birth year?
What do you think?
I would ad a leather nato in dark brown.

As with all things Rolex, price and condition contribute a lot in decision making. Looks nice although I'd like to have the bracelet as well you might miss it in the future. I wear my 14060 on a lot of straps but really like being able to wear in on a bracelet as well. The Sub looks great, btw.

I love both the 4 digit and 5 digit examples above and I have the 114060. To me these are better than mine!

The lugs get slimmed down?

I didn't think so.

So thrilled with this:
