I’ve had the watch for about 2.5 years now. 126610LV new from an AD in 2021. It was a wedding gift from my wife. I would like to add a few more to build a small collection over time (really want a speedmaster), but I plan on keeping the sub as my daily for life!

bjdub, Nice gift! That's a keeper for sure. Maybe post a pic? Got my first brand new Rolex 126610LN this July and every scratch will be mine. Never posted a pic but I'll give it a try this weekend.

More themes taking the lead:
Less/Modified/Two liner text +10
126610 proportions are perfect +10
16610 proportions are perfect +7
Smaller clasp +6
Chamfers +5
Oyester Flex +4
scratch resistance +4 (Several Don't care)
Navy Dial +3
Matte Ceramic +2
Titanium +2

I like this idea.

2-liner.
Red dial & insert.
White dial & black insert.

I wpuöd love an option with a blue bezel insert but in SS instead of WG.
Also wouod like the possibility to buy oysterflex / clasp as an accessory for existing subs (all previous models)

16610-style, 40mm, chamfered case
Navy blue maxi dial
Maxi hands
Navy blue insert, prefer aluminium, would accept ceramic but with a more recessed pearl
Modern 20mm bracelet with SELs and glidelock clasp

Watch perfection for me! Won't happen :(

It’s already fairly 16610 style with glide lock, ceramic, AR coating, 32 series movement. Seriously, what actual improvements does anyone expect? Anything else will be tinkering.

Just an updated 14060. It's that simple.

Deep Sea colored dial

I think it's already a pretty complete package. Improved movement reliability and longer movement service intervals are always good things, as would tinkering with the steel so that it is more resistant to dings, impact damage, and scratches. Ongoing improvements to Chromalight is also always welcome should improved technology in that arena become available.

I would welcome Rolex including a screwdriver and Loctite with every watch, but I don't see that happening.

Another vote for 16610 proportions with the clasp from the 116610 and all the modern upgrades.

Is this true. 904 scratches more easily?

Mods that are +5 and greater as follows:

Less/Modified/Two liner text +11
126610 proportions are perfect +10
16610 proportions are perfect +9
Smaller clasp +6
Chamfers +6
Scratch resistance +5

I really dig the current proportions. I would lobby for a few movement enhancements, bring back the Smurf and Hulk, less text, include an Oysterflex with an attached clasp and a robust quick change system - like a cam and rod kinda deal. I would volunteer a kidney for a blue on blue SS situation.

I agree with better scratch resistance, but I think this is the greatest Sub ever and that’s why I bought it.

As for the movement, maybe I’m lucky but I’ve had no issues in fact consistently runs at -.5 seconds a day. I’ll take it!
