Waiting for mine as well. This and the 214270's purity are perfect for me.

Great to hear your opinion on the new sub. When i bought my 114060 you were one of the youtubers that helped me decide on that purchase. thanks mate. Its my daily and even though i've been looking for my next purchase i can't find anything that would make me give up my wrist time with the no date sub

Next video: "Sold the 124060, bracelet and clasp is too chunky. 114060 is the perfect sub, long live the OG ceramic fat lugs!" Just messing with you mate, congrats on the sub. Any sub is a great choice, they're all awesome.

Lol cheers mate.

Great video! Keep in mind the “41 sub” measures 40.5mm compared to 40.2mm with the “40 sub.” So only a .3mm change!

Finally a wrist that the new Sub looks good on. It is a watch for larger wrists, but most KZreadrs don't get it.

Great addition to your collection, also do love my 114060. Enjoy the journey

A black sub without the cyclops is the perfect watch. I wish all subs had this option (hulk, smurf, etc). You've made a great choice. It's interesting what you said about photos vs seeing the watches in person. I completely agree. I remember seeing a gold sub w/ a blue dial in the store once. I asked to see it and put it back rather quickly. I couldn't believe how flashy it really was in person. I also find that a lot of watches are thicker than I expected once I see them in person. Good video.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the input.

True Michael, almost nobody talks about the more chunky clasp and overall more substantive feel of the 124060 as compared to 114060. I think you are spot on and for people with smaller wrist size, 114060 is the perfect size. Further, the sub no date is the most balanced and prettiest of them all. Cheers 🍻

That Bluesy would look great with your denim shirt. It's more versatile than you think. Still in the honeymoon phase since 2019. And I think I will always be in that phase. My 114060 is more versatile, but doesn't have that X factor. I still catch myself getting lost in those perfect color combos. It takes balls to rock the Bluesy. I think that's what I love about it. It screams Rolex. I really love having both. Winter, Summer....stealth, flash. If I had to keep one, it would be the Bluesy. I have gotten used to wearing it at work. I love the beauty and added weight. It looks and feels like a relic pulled from King Tut's tomb. It's such a special piece. If you're outdoorsy, getting it out in the sun is magical. Where the Bluesy sings IMO. I love the 124060 on your wrist man, looks great!

Such a good looking watch and it suits your wrist perfectly. The lugs are so much better. Nice wee ramble.

Hey! I’m picking mine tomorrow. It’s my 3rd Rolex. Can’t wait to have it on my wrist. I purchased Paul Newman Daytona 116508 in July and day date olive green last year.

Nice video and congrats on your purchase. I have to agree that the Bluesy is an occasional wear. But when the occasion calls there is nothing better!

Beautiful watch , iv had the date variant for about six months and love it. Its a keeper for me . I used to lust after the Bluesy but as iv got older I'm not that into gold anymore. But it's still a great looking piece . Enjoy your new watch 👍

Gorgeous acquisition! Enjoy and wear it in good health 🙏👊

I am a new subscriber to Your videos and they are just fantastic. I watched your video on the 124060 two days ago and it was one of the best, most insightful and articulate reviews on any watch that i have ever seen, and I have watched A LOT of them. Every point You made in the video convinced me now that this is the watch that would be the best fit for me and anything else in my mind would feel like a bit of a compromise.I went to my Local AD today and he said He thought he could get me the watch inside of 90 days....which seems completely unrealistic- but one can hope. Thanks again for Your insight, You are al talent that is very rare and unique, and stand out as special among the thousands of watch enthusiast You-tubers and reviewers.

Thank you so much for the kind words Chris. I wish you to get your watch inside those 90 days.

The bluesey two tone is my grail. It's watch perfection. Especially the slightly larger 41mm (better still if they update them next year to 42mm, which I think the sub needs ultimately). I also feel as though its even more versatile than the black and SS model. The lugs on the older model did not in the slightest bother me, I still felt it was a very balanced watch, although the bracelet perhaps tapered ever so slightly too much. It's a lot nicer than the black and gold IMHO, and it's not overly heavy like the white gold smurf either (I think the bluesey is about 165g). You should have bought it! haha In regards to why are watches getting bigger, yes people are fatter now than 20-30-40 years ago. But I also think its just a preference/fashion trend to wear bigger watches. For me, the 40mm sub while in no way small feels a touch dainty now. I wear 50mm gshocks as a beater and it feels tiny compared to them!

I had the 114060 which I bought to replace my date 16610LN Sub for the same various reasons you had mentioned multiple times, Michael. When Rolex released this one last September I knew I needed to get it because of all the minor improvements that were so welcomed. Trust me the lugs annoyed me just as much, lol. Those incremental changes really make the watch perfect IMO. I sold my 114060 and got this one last December. I really love it, this is such a great watch. My wrist size is 7.25 inch. Congrats on yours mate, you sure won't regret owning it. Cheers from Canada.

Great video as always Michael, I have a 126610 black date sub, love it! But I just got a call from the AD to pick up a 124060 no date, it would be hard to keep both but it’s going to be even harder to decide which one to keep, it’s times like this I wish I would have held on to my 116600 40 mm SD ceramic. It’s like the best of both worlds!

Very well made video, your comments are spot on. I still find the 14060M the best looking sub.....but...being in my 50ies....and needing reading glasses since a while now, I will need to change it for the 124060 because it just more legible....and the 124060 I think is the second best looking sub :-)

Congrats Michael! Love the sub! 😁😁😁

Great video Michael. Authentic reflections and opinions. There’s no doubt the new lugs a subtle but significant visual improvement. Totally agree that while the classic black sub is superb it is often the domain of those who are unsure why they wear it. The no-date spotted on a wrist shows a level of consideration and flags a more conscious choice. Looks superb on you and will be interesting to see the video you make when one day reunited with 16600 to compare. Also love idea of the bluesey but it is “bling town” so couldn’t be daily for me. I’m off to Google no-dates 👌🏼😋 .

Now that’s a tough one 😁 but again if I only have to have only one watch, it’s differently going to be a Bluesy, yet again, is it versatile enough to fit all occasions? I think not, I think yes, maybe not, I don’t know really 😭😭 Thanks 🙏🏼 😊

Hi Micheal, how does it compare to the SD43? I'm guessing they're just about the same size now..

Great choice Michael. I had the old version but this current model is so much better. Keep well my friend 👊p.s. also agree that it does wear bigger and feels to be heavier, but it is better 😁

Hi Michael.

Hard to beat the ND Sub. I think ID Guy said it best, when arguing how a cyclops ruins balance, and how it’s really pointless to even need a mechanical watch today. He then pointed out that a lux watch is something like escapism, or a vacation on the wrist. Which is why the ND Sub makes so much sense. It’s just aesthetically pleasing, balanced, and ready to be enjoyed in any situation.

Hello Michael- I had a 14060 2 line for years ,sold it and realized how much i missed it. Decided to shop again for one and had my heart set on a 4 line 14060m, until I watched Your video from a few years ago about the 16600 sea dweller. This is a watch i had never really considered but it seems like it fixes a few things that I had wished for in the Sub like the no holes lug, a date without the cyclops etc....my real concern is having never tried one on would be the added weight , height and comfort. I am a one- watch type of guy and never take my watch off so this is pretty important, I have a 7.25+ inchwrist depending on the temp/envirement which is also fairly flat.
