Still have not completed the deal. Don't know why, but I think the "shortage" may be over soon. I remember being able to buy this same watch, aftermarket NIB for $5k to $6k. Very frustrating environment.

It is a great watch, and if the cyclops was your only concern previously, you will love the 114060.
If you are hesitant about outlaying the funds at the moment, maybe it is safer to hold off for a while.
Otherwise go for it.

I mostly stay between 2000 and 1800 feet, occasionally, like once a month, I come up to 1437 feet. I keep the Hulk in the submarine and just look at it at night.

There is no way the shortage is going to be over soon. If it ever came close, it will when Rolex updates the Sub. Then good luck getting one from an AD for years.

If you like it, buy it now. You’re never getting a NIB Sub for $6,000.

Maybe others with more experience in this forum could reply? But I do think it will happen again. Just a question of when.

In a heartbeat, unless you sold the Sub C date for more than not bonding with the cyclops.

Thanks! Imo it looks better on a rubber strap than it does a nato/leather

I think the general consensus from what I’ve read from other forum members is the Rolex bubble will stabilize when demand slows down and supply catches up. It seems the only way demand will slow is if there’s less discretionary income, such as an economic downturn

Shortage isn’t going anywhere soon

A No-Date Sub is an absolute classic. Go try it on, give it a few minutes on your wrist, and if it speaks to you, you know what to do.

If you did not like the MAXI case it would be a NO.
If just about the cyclops then either way - go and see it/try it on and decide then.
They seem to be one of the achievable ND watches to get it seems, I was offered one here by AD in UK but was looking for the elusive Green/Unicorn one!!

Passed on the sub, the Maxi case was ultimately the deal breaker. I like my DJii, but add that ceramic bezel and its just too much. Thanks for all the advice.
