Anyone got a line on a new Sub?

Post by r.palace » Fri Jun 21, 2019 1:07 pm

My manager is on a waiting list at the local AD but no promises are being made for a timeline

I’m not following the madness lately so call me clueless but does anyone have a line on a black date sub at list price?

Thanks in advance broskis

Evidently there is a wait for Submariners. It's news to me, because I saw a few in the case the other day when I was in an AD.

Do you know if that AD would ship to another state?

I can’t believe that a regular boring fat case sub is hard to find.

That’s because they are popular. I find mine to be modern, and much more desirable than the 16610 I was wearing.

Agree. It's not a case that's going to age well IMO.

They were popular three years ago too. Back when they sat in cases everywhere.

You’re on TRF aren’t you?

Why, because I prefer a modern Sub over an older one.

Agreed, dumped mine in less than a year. It had some decent angles where the lugs weren’t too obvious but overall it was terrible. And on straps those lugs were even more pronounced

Everyone will admit that the fat case sucks when Rolex shaves off a minuscule .05mm from the next generations lugs.

I’m starting to look at Rolex as something like a prototype car or similar. No one will have them for 5 years, DavidSW will charge 20K for one and it just won’t be interesting to dream about

I owned a 114060 and a 16600 concurrently for a couple of years. The 16600 was and is a dream to wear. I had to force myself to wear the Sub.

I really like my 16600.

I found it too tall. I like my 14060m much better
It is much less flat than the 14060m. I like that about it though.

I sometimes think about flipping my 114060 for a 16600, but after wearing a glide lock bracelet for the past six years (on that and 116600), I feel like I’d miss it. I dunno though.

I highly doubt it. They’re the biggest luxury watch brand in the world. But I agree on the maxi-case.

Source a GL bracelet for the 16600. It’s a nice combination.

I own a minty 114060 that I'll let go for only $18,750.00.

Me too. The 114060 is my favorite of all the Rolex I’ve worn the past 3 decades.
