114060 sub n date question
Hi Guy's
Just sold my sub 1460m yesterday and I am now thinking about what to buy next, I have a question for you guys that own the sub c date and non date if you could only keep one which one would it be and why ?. Also do the newer ceramic models look and feel bigger to wear than the older subs thanks for your help, any comparison shot would be much appreciated |

the newer subs do wear larger than the older versions, there are a couple of wrist sidebyside comparison shots
I personally like the older model look better, the wider lugs and maxi case on the new subs just look unbalanced |

Of the two, I prefer the date. Yes, the newer models definitely have more presence on the wrist.

The symentry of the 114060 is unreal. Just looks right in every way. This combined with the maxi dial and Glidelock clasp make it perfect. This was my first Rolex without a date, and I almost traded it. However, I decided I liked the Sub with all the new fixings better, so it has remained my daily wearer.
