as i said in the other thread, nice (but expected) news on the ND....but, looks like the 216570's more proportionate lugs didn't mean a change of heart for rolex across the line.....

The case does seem less block-like.

Did you forget to post the pic you took at Basel 2010?

I think it is really nice. Maxi dials give it more balanced look IMHO

The crown guards certainly don't look as long as on the SubDate...

Only if they made a 114060LV....

I'm just assuming that 114060 will be the new reference number for the updated cerachrom ND Sub.

The available photo of the new Sub is hardly adequate to judge it fairly.

It certainly doesn't look like a clone of the Sub-Dates.

While I am very happy and feel extremely fortunate to have my 14060M, Rolex may have hit a real home run with the 114060 (guessing at the reference) that will be a much more natural progression from the old to the new than the 116610 was from the 16610.

It would please me very much if Rolex showed some restraint in the update that will honor tradition as much as it sets a new standard.

By far the best introduction this year. I like it. Too bad they didnt have a pic of the new bracelet.
