Rolex Submariner 124060 'Eye Candy'

This is not a review and I know that we all saw our fair share of Rolex Sub shots. One of the, if the most popular sport watches out there has been a fan favorite for many years. It's tough, bulletproof, water resistant to chest-crushing depths, and (unfortunately) today one of the most popular members of board room meetings.

I've been always a fan of the Sub, actually, it was the first watch I ever started to look deeper into when I got into watches, but for some reason, I never pulled the trigger. To my eyes, it was, and still is, so perfect as an everyday watch that it's boring. 5 series was cool but I dreamed of having 4 series, 6 series first gen was too chubby but this one...man they did this one just right.

That one millimeter extra in endlink width and one millimeter less in lugs thickness made a huge difference in my eyes, and the case sits so comfortably on the wrist.

cal 3235 is super sensitive as the second hand reacts on a single turn of a crown. But they still haven't figured out the slipping on the crown from position 0 to time setting (same as last gen date/gmt movements)

Anyway, got some time with this watch and you know me, I had to pull my camera out. So here are some eye candy shots, hope you like them

Cheers team!

Beautiful photos, as always, Nono01. Congratulations!!!

And a beautiful watch indeed. I am partial to the newest iteration of the Sub. I also prefer the ND version.

Love the photography!! Great shots!!! I agree with you that the new proportions although small make a big difference. I ventured back into sub territory with a 126613LB and really like it.

Oh wow, those are some stunning shots! Reminds me of some of the portraits Rolex posted of Sub a few months ago. Were you the photographer for those too? Lol
