Going to Toronto in a few month to purchase a 114060 from Watchfinder.ca and did not find a lot of reviews from that place. One way (of many) to verify if a Rolex is real is checking the exact weight, since no fake have the exact weight precisely. Is the serial on the 114060 engrave at the 6 O'clock position on the other case as previous 14060M ? Thanks |

...but asking a seller to open a BNIB Rolex backcase to confirm authenticity is somewhat delicate... they must be other way to confirm or validate. |

Love the no date. Incredible watch! Do you plan on diving with it?

Just bought a 114060 (ceramic no date). I have the "Hulk" green/green ceramic and some vintage gold rolexes. I had a GMT II ceramic which i sold (rarely wore it). I must say the new no date ceramic is as classic a watch as i have seen. A true, pure sports/dive watch for the 21st century. I appreciate the 14060 and the other old style Rolexes as well but everything visual evolves: art, clothes, buildings, hairstyles and watches. Doesn't mean I don't also like 70s cars!

I like the 114060, but I don't think the 14060 deserves the thrashing the OP gives it.
Nothing will ever replace this baby, even it is as big as a Frisbee and weighs metric ton.

Thanks for the great review! I can totally relate to what you have gone through to get the watch you really love.
I have bought and sold a lot of watches myself over the past few years. Last week, I tried on the Sub ND 114060 for the first time. There is really nothing about that watch that I would change. At the moment, I have the 36mm Explorer I. Even though it has the older Oyster bracelet with the hollow center links, it is a small watch, so it doesn't bother me. Having said that, when I put on the new Sub ND, I just feel that everything is right. I also have an Omega Speedmaster "moonwatch" which is 42mm. It feels too big a lot of the time. I have spent a lot of time going through watches trying to find the perfect size, and I believe the Sub is it. I have a feeling that I might just be selling my other watches to buy one. The Subs, according to my AD, are discounted rarerly now, and if so, very little. I don't have a lot of money, and I have lost a lot in buying and selling watches. But I'm not crying about it. I love having a nice watch on my wrist, and the money is no object compared to the fun I have had. You did the right thing, and I am more than certain nobody can tell you otherwise! Cheers, Carl

One of the things I do like most about the recent updates, is the fact that every time I see a wrist shot of it, or of the 14060, I only see very subtle differences, until I look really closely. They both seem to have the perfect wrist presence. Not too big, not too small. And I can't stress enough my feelings that Rolex did the right thing by leaving the size at 40mm. Cheers, Carl

Though I prefer subs with the date window, 114060 is an awesome watch to own indeed!

Could not have said it any better. I have been wearing Rolex sport watches for over 35 years and the 114060 ND SUB C is the best of all hands down! |

114060 is awesome only flaw is it is not a 2 liner or it would be perfection.

I have also flipped a gmt II c and then went to a ceramic sub date.. After a couple of months with it I kept thinking about the no date ti finally I ran into a great deal on one and flipped the date for the no date and could not be happier and won't look back. Hope to be able to keep this one for a long time..

Recently picked up my 114060. I had purchased a DJ 36mm with my wife as a 50th birthday present. After purchasing I found this site and found the phenomenal admiration the Sub has. I have an older Date 34mm that's 20 years old and to be honest was out of touch with current Rolex offerings. I read one 114060 review and began to regret my purchase. I really wanted a more everyday type watch. Talking to my wife she just looked and said "maybe you should get a Sub as well". After getting over my surprise and doing some calculations, I went back to my AD and saw the 114060 sitting in his display. I immediately fell in love and it's been on my wrist ever since. My DJ will be my dressy watch but for everyday, it's hard to beat my Sub.
