Hello Irixguy. Greetings from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍🏻👍🏻!! I also own the 114060 and I never, repeat NEVER take it off. The symmetry is awesome and when I charge the lume before bed, it lasts all through a cold and long London Winter night and is legible eight (8) hours later 🤣🤣🤣. I also wear my watch in the shower but ALWAYS rinse off all the suds n stuff to keep it in snazzy sparkly condition. Keep up the great work and CONTINUE to enjoy your 114060 in great health 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻!! Until next time, take care mister….

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's an amazing watch for sure! The other doubt is... I was told wearing dive watches in spa/sauna/hot tubs is supposed to be terrible for rubber gaskets, have you had issues or heard anything about it?

@IrixGuy

I’ve heard the same. I’ve worn my Omega SeaMaster 300m in wet conditions for over 20+ years without issue. I do the same with all of other other screw-down crown dive watches that have proper water resistance and don’t worry about it. It’s not recommended but i do it all of the time.

That is awesome! Yeah, picking this back up then "stung" but I've never regretted the purchase decision. They had Batman, Hulk, Kermit, Daytona and more when I purchased this but am still glad I went with the "no date." The timing of your comment is funny! Stay tuned for a video that I'm editing and will post soon regarding Rolex and the grey market =). I'm not a buyer of Rolex today either...quality watches but no more discounts in an AD (or stock to buy) =(

I agree with everything you said, apart from the watch not being flashy. Flashy definition: Momentarily dazzling. 3a : superficially attractive or impressive. b : ostentatious or showy often beyond the bounds of good taste especially : marked by gaudy brightness. Also what makes the Rolex submariner stainless Steel Black dial so attractive and flashy is the stainless steel and the Piano black just looks absolutely beautiful together. For those who have never seen one up close and tried one on, you maybe missing out big time. For those who can't afford one there is always the Rolex submariner Homages. Cronos and San Martin are beautiful to, l am familiar with the Rolex submariner and the Homages to this most beautiful watch.

Well said! I was fortunate to purchase this timepieces in an AD during 2013 when Rolex watches were still plentiful and discounts could still be negotiated. They have white gold hands and platinum graduations in the ceramic bezel. It truly is an impressive timepiece in the flesh! Thanks for your viewership and please feel free to subscribe to my channel and check out all of my Timepieces for Tomorrow videos!

Nice video brother just a quick question because i can see it a bit in your video. Does your bezel have hairline scratches that only appear in certain light? I have them on my submariner hulk and everyone swears that these bezels are scratch proof

@IrixGuy

9 ай бұрын

Are you certain that the bezel insert in your Submariner is genuine? These bezels should not scratch or fade. Although highly unlikely, the only thing that might happen is shattering but that would require a tremendous amount of force and a specific point of impact.

Crown guards prevent knocking off crown while working .Tgey made tgem bigger because the smaller ones on tge previous model start to dissappear if you like to keep I polished so they have bigger lugs so if you have it many years and you have it polished upon servicing you won't notice lugs shrinking.Thats why we have the beefy Maxi case as well as bigger watches comming to fashion

@IrixGuy

That makes sense about the crown guards. Big watch vs. small watch though….I bought my Breitling Super Avenger during the early ‘2000s. Big watches were hot then. Do you think that they’re making a comeback? It seems that 39mm - 42mm for men has been the most popular size for the past few years.

I'm at the point t don't wear anything under 40mm unless fine dining or special occasion I might pull out the 36mm though it's only worn 1ce a year and needs wound every time I use it.When I look to buy watches I stick things the size of an offshore because I like how they fit better.Im a really hands on guy so I need durable.

I remember watching your review a million times about the no date submariner, back in the day when hype didn't exist. In the end i ended up selling my 2225.80 seamaster chrono and got the no date ceramic sub. I was disappointed. It was a nice watch but didn't feel thousands better, versus the omega, as far as build quality goes. There is a reason why before the stupid hype you could get discounts at ADs or buy 2nd hand, guaranteed cheaper. So the sub only stayed with me for a week. But i still watch you video of the no date sub time to time :)

@IrixGuy

2 жыл бұрын

Very cool thanks for watching my videos :). Yeah, I doubt that we’ll ever see the days again where someone can walk into a Rolex AD, try on any reference and then haggle and purchase one for a discount. I’m happy and done with a “one and done Rolex.”. The submariner ticks all boxes and I’ve now been able to explore all other wristwatch bands too. With that said, I think that the Sub is still the best watch in my rotation and obviously not due to hype :)

I have the same watch, and like you it's ment to be a watch you use and love 😊

Irix, great review. However, I can't help notice your nails look a little yellow. This is not my area of expertise, but you may be Vitamin E deficient. You might also consider using a corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone as well. I'd recommend bringing this up with your doctor at next check up.
