The Explorer was corrected after six years. The GMT's supercase design was 13 years old last year when Rolex doubled down on it with no significant aesthetic changes. The Sub's design will be 12 years old next year - and, as we've seen, is not appreciably different from the GMT's. You're entitled to your opinion, but at least get your facts straight.

The ceramic Sub is awesome and the maxi case isn't a big deal. Its a matter of taste, not fact.

my two Sub 14060/116610LN ...... both are winners

Thank you JS. I didn’t say they changed it in 24hrs either.

No, you made an inaccurate comparison as a means of advancing your opinion. You also made it in affirmative response to a blatant falsehood. It's fine to have an opinion, but when you distort facts as a means of "proving" it, you've crossed into spreading misinformation.

I owned both BLNR and SubC and they wear identical to me but the Sub a little too heavy. The case are identical.

I always thought the BLNR was slightly more tapered and it even felt smaller when I tried one on next to the ceramic no date, but looks like you're right. If there's any difference it's only a fraction of a millimeter identifiable at 10x magnification.

No, you are taking this way too seriously. What I do know is that the Explorer mark I is the only Modern Rolex where you can have the hands and dial changed to the mark II by Rolex themselves. If that isn’t a concession of a mistake, I don’t know what is.

Also the maxicase Submariner is the most polarising design in recent Rolex history. I’m not the only one that dislikes it and am probably in a significant minority.

Before you jump again, have a think, we are talking about watches, not how to solve world hunger.

Have a good Easter break.

I like the maxi case would bet the Submariner will have the updated movement next year.

If you want timeless, instantly the 116610LN comes to mind. You can also find one relatively easy compared to the other hyped models. I wouldn’t worry about it getting updated, what more can they do besides a longer power reserve? I vote SubC Date.

The brick??
