Submariner Date or No-Date.

[Mickey®]

I don't know why I didn't know but I need a new ND Sub in case they ever change that case!

You can say whatever you want about the Submariner name to argumentative...BUT
I just went to Rolex.ch and this is what it shows for a Submariner! Looks a date to me!

Saying ND Sub is just a way to distinguish which model I was talking about...
Sub No Date, Submariner, Submariner Date...who cares?

You need to read the model descriptions more closely not just the cover pictures.I'm not trying to be argumentative just trying to clarify your question,I couldn't answer your question as it was phrased incorrectly referencing a non existent model.

If you click on the links above I'm sure you will get it correct in the Future.As you can see the pic you posted clearly states it is a SUBMARINER DATE.If you don't care what is called ,why ask the question in the first place?

I went with the no date because it has a truly classic, simple look. I am also a huge fan of the king of cool and after seeing him with it on my fate was sealed......
This is the watch my dad always wanted but couldn't afford, so this one is for you dad!

If we're going to get really technical, this pretty much settles it, I think.

Is the 14060M noisy because of the non-sel?

[CharlieSF]

For me, SubC hands down. It looks fantastic on you.

Yes

[dddrees]

Sub with a date.


This way it won't be so lonely.

It does like to chat away to you...

It's a friendly watch!

[NYC6]

I wear mine snug but not tight. I can swing my arm like mad and dont hear a thing. If you wear it like some I've seen(alot of play underneath) I imagine it would make noticeable sound.

[speedo]

having a date complication was not essential for me when chosing but the 116610 just felt a much improved watch to me when compared to the older models.
new bracelet, clasp maxi dial and i kind of like the maxi case as well.

imho, after some tinkering, much of the noise actually stems from the older style clasp as well as the SEL.

(93150 vs 93250)

i didn't look at the 14060M for long enough to find it rattling. Is it very rattly?
Does anyone have a photo of the 116610LN on a nato strap or similar?

rattle is no big deal either way.

nato better for 14060m with LUGHOLES

[Cyberintercept]

The 14060M with the 91350 doesn't make much noise if it is properly sized on your wrist. Being hyper attentive to every motion of your wrist, I am sure you would hear some rattle if you began to listen for it, but it's simply the design of non sel. That bracelet is tried and true for over 40 years! +1 for 14060M!

date. have cyclop removed it you don't like it.

The 116610, has a different size/shaped case, ceramic bezel, maxi dial, different size hands all of which give the watch a completely different look/feel on the wrist to the 14060M.

Most have a preference for one look over the other.

As far as waiting for Basel, I'm assuming you're awaiting an updated version of the 14060M. Your call but the 14060M has never been part of the sub date schedule in terms of changes. It's not been the case that the sub date gets the changes one year and the next year they are applied to the sub.

x2!

I prefer the classic 16610 ok 14060 over the maxi. Just my opinion.

SubC!! You won't be disappointed!

I think you meant "M" not "N". Nevertheless, you will not be dissatisfied. Enjoy!!

No doubt about that, but i would really like to see how the 116610LN looks on a nato strap. The 14060M looks fantastic on a strap.

Submariner 14060M or 116610LN :smoking: (for this time being, maybe if it becomes a hobby i'll get more Rolex's)




I was a little concerned that the 116610 LN would be too big on my arm, but i think that it looks pretty okay, right? Which suits me the best?

Would it be stupid buying the 14060M when BaselWorld 2012 is so close?

IMHO, the 116610 looks perfect on your arm. Definitely not too large at all!

Get the 116610! The ceramic bezel, blue lume, glidelock clasp, heavier and better built bracelet (I know I know, it's debatable), and of course, the DATE!

[closey]

Of those choices I would choose the 14060 without any hesitation.. Or go 16610 :D

Regards

[Melanotaenia]

14060M or find a 16610 in good shape here on TRF

[GoDogGo]

Recently bought the Sub 116610LN, you can't go wrong with this watch!
