The classic no date sub, this Rolex is the updated version with ceramic bezel but still 40mm case. Model reference 114060.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
Unfortunately we do not have papers for this watch. This model ran from 2012 to 2020, but in 2011 Rolex switched from having standard serial numbers to having random serial numbers, so we can not say exactly when this was made. We have picked 2012 as the earliest year it could possibly be.
CONDITION
The Submariner was launched in 1953 and lays some claims to be the first recognisable divers watch (disputed with Blancpain and Zodiac). It was a tool watch, really only targeted at divers, and it has developed every since. Reference 114060 gives you the classic 40mm size, but a few extras over it’s predecessor. It has the same chronometer rated Rolex calibre 3130 automatic movement, but the MAXI case is a little chunkier. The most obvious feature is the aluminium bezel insert has been replaced with a ceramic bezel with platinum inserts, but then you also notice the lume is different – this model features the Rolex developed Chromolight lume so it glows blue rather than green. One of the biggest improvements is the bracelet is much better, and the clasp has the Rolex Glide-Lock system allowing for quick adjustment without the need for any tools. The bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. On the latest models the lugs are now 21mm, whereas this is a more normal 20mm (import if you like swapping the look of your watch and have a lot of 20mm straps!) The clasp has a few marks but nothing bad. The case has a few pinprick dinks if you look very closely, but this is not a new watch. There are plenty of this popular 114060 model on C24 and many are in excess of £12,000, so this represents great value for money.
