Hey all,

Been chatting with my boss, who saw Rolex this morning, and he asked the question that's been on many people's lips: what is the fate of the ND Sub? Well, I have an answer for you all...

It lives! At least for another year, anyway. They could, possibly, launch an updated version next year, but let's worry about that in 12 months time. In the meantime, enjoy this old school Rolex whilst you can

All the best,

Chris

subkrawler · 27 March 2011, 01:17 AM

Great work, and a huge thanks!

tgoose1 · 27 March 2011, 01:22 AM

Looks like it will stay the entry level Submariner at approx $5.5K for a while, a good marketing/sales move by Rolex.

Mosco · 27 March 2011, 01:27 AM

I'm glad the 14060 stays, although I wouldn't be opposed to seeing a 114060 :)

indeuce · 27 March 2011, 02:01 AM

Thanks for the great news!!

Paracentesis · 27 March 2011, 02:07 AM

So now there's only one Rolex left in the catalogue worth paying for.

Thanks Chris. Nice to see the old warhorse lives on.

Roxas · 27 March 2011, 02:29 AM

Thanks for the information.

le_baroudeur · 27 March 2011, 02:30 AM

Thanks! The only desirable rolex on sale.

tifosi · 27 March 2011, 02:33 AM

I'm glad to see it continue for at least a little while longer. I won't be buying it, but it's nice to know it is there.

MortgageGuy · 27 March 2011, 02:35 AM

Thanks for the update, that is good to know, I am hoping we do see a ceramic version myself rather than discontinue

Puffy · 27 March 2011, 03:25 AM

reckon we'll see a 214060 next year then

Nica64 · 27 March 2011, 03:45 AM

Nice to know, I love mine. Thanks Chris!!

CoopJr · 27 March 2011, 04:39 AM

Thanks for the update

Danand · 27 March 2011, 04:44 AM

I know my AD will be upset that they didn't update it. He says they can't sell the current model since most buyers are non wis types and think it looks/feels outdated.

StarSovereign · 27 March 2011, 04:47 AM

sweet. Makes since that they didn't launch it this year due to the new EXPII being the headliner. Same reason the new EXPII got pushed back last year...didn't want to upstage the ceramic SS Sub...

swatty · 27 March 2011, 04:50 AM

Chris , thanks for the update . Now we can start speculating on the changes that will be made next year

FLB03TT · 27 March 2011, 05:02 AM

Thanks Chris for your efforts in getting the answer, at least for this year, on the 14060.

MrCowboy99 · 27 March 2011, 05:19 AM

After thinking about this, as it's not on the web site (and hasn't been for some time) but the key is it has been in the show case at Basel. This year it wasn't. As much as I think it's going to be for another year, I feel they will phase it out of production and limit the sales to what are made. As you know there are alot of BNIB out there sitting in ADs but once they are gone, I feel that's it. That will position Rolex to bring out a SUB-C No Date next year at Basel.

Turning the inventory and not stuck with old is the name of the game. I just feel, as I think about it, 14060m will be sold this year, but only sold what they have produced is my guess.

Remember, no one knows except God and Rolex.
