Absolutely love the 5-digit Subs. Cool proportions, bombproof construction, handsome looks, comfortable to wear, good to go. My quartet:

Z-serial 16610. Just acquired in August 2021 from TRF trusted seller Chase.


D-serial 16600. My 2nd ever Rolex; purchased new in 2005 from AD.


Random-serial 14060m, purchased in 2016 from TRF trusted seller Takuya.


U-serial 16613; purchased in 2012 from a member here on TRF.

Four and Five Digits rule.
Do not care for the wide-lugged maxi cases and would never want any of them.

Many thanks. Regrettably, I've had to do some consolidation (retired now, lol), so the two 6-digit Blueseys have been sent to new homes. Both were absolutely stunning watches, hope the new owners are enjoying them.

I love my 14060M. But my 124060 has been dominating wrist time since June.

I love the 5-digit Rolexes, can't abide the 6-digit models.



However, I prefer the look of the 5513 Maxi Mk 1 to all other Rolexes.

Sold mine and still regret getting rid of the 14060. Although moving up to the Red Sub 4 digit does have its perks!

Last of the best! It was the last era, long before the cell phone where these were worn as tools.
