New Submariner announcement Sept 1st?

(116600 still reigns for me)
Re: New Submariner announcement Sept 1st?
I also love how the whole theme was "OUT OF THE BLUE", and yet:
1) Rolex just released the Submariner AGAIN, and
2) The only blue watch they released was in WHITE GOLD. A big "fuck you" to rabid fans.

Interestingly, they downgraded to a Twinlock crown.

I never warmed up to that one Rob.
When it was first announced I drooled because it looked perfect with right lugs and all. But when I tried it on several times it was too tall for its diameter and wobbled on the wrist. Also the dial appeared smaller against the bezel. From how poorly it sold and eventually quickly discontinued I imagine it was not liked by many.

Gotta be a typo. Clearly a Triplock with 3 dots.
On the page that shows all the Subs they also have this:

Re: New Submariner announcement Sept 1st?
You are probably right Art, about why it was discontinued. When I replaced my 16800 with the 116600 I felt the opposite though, the 16800 felt too small for me, but the 116600 wore much better. Maybe my wrist size/shape.Panerai7 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 4:21 pmI never warmed up to that one Rob.

Re: New Submariner announcement Sept 1st?
I’ve never tried 16800 variant. My first Rolex was 16610 and I loved it for a few years. But it was kinda small and eventually felt outdated and not in a cool vintage vibe kinda way. If 16800 was like that then I can totally see how you fell in love with 116600raf42 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 4:27 pmYou are probably right Art, about why it was discontinued.

I really wish it was 42mm. That being said, I’m already on the list at the AD, and will just sell it if I don’t like it.matt.wu wrote:Definitely an improvement. But a MINOR MINOR MINOR one.

So subtle and so huge at the same time
For the comedians, the new one is on the right

Re: New Submariner announcement Sept 1st?
The lugs are definitely slimmer. I like that.
Re: New Submariner announcement Sept 1st?
I like it too and I’m on “the list” but I recall speaking with LAWW and they can slim down the lugs on the 114060, but it would end any remaining Rolex warranty. The positive to this is retaining the 20mm lug width. They also said they could do lug holes if desired.

Re: New Submariner announcement Sept 1st?
Just FYI, your AD definitely gets blacklisted if you flip too quickly... unless you sell it without the warranty card :D.

I don’t really have a horse in this race I’m just here for the memes.
Re: New Submariner announcement Sept 1st?
I would sell it in-house, so as not to ruffle any AD feathers.matt.wu wrote:Just FYI, your AD definitely gets blacklisted if you flip too quickly... unless you sell it without the warranty card :D.

I’m sure tons of folks who would jump at it!

Good summary on hodickee

He said it right. “Perfecting a perfect watch” So true.
