ubiquitous Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Dunno how I've managed to do so many in the past 7 months, but somehow I've done a fair share Think I kicked it all off with justasgood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 And they are all awesome too! The 5514's are really nice! If I get bored of my 1665, that would definitely be my next direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I am a no date guy as well - 116520 (okay, it's a Daytona), 5512 and now your wonderful 5514. Needless to say, wonderful projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks, guys I do appreciate the kind words! Heh... F333- I think you hit the nail on the head. When I've got nothing to do, I start to get fidgety, and that's usually when I start looking for projects to quench that thirst. So, the past few pieces for others have been good for me, as they kind of keep me out of trouble without starting up some sort of build of my own (regardless, I still manage to get myself into some sort of mischief). Though these days it seems as though I have anything but time on my hands *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 No dates.....reminds me of my teen years thru high school.....no dates. Anywho, it's a shame you wasted all your creativity on my 5517 then had to muddle through the rest ;-) Need it be said? Awesome, incredible and expected.

By-Tor Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 No-date is the nicest Sub, vintage or new. My old man has a modern no-date, I have always admired the simplistic look. I actually prefer this over the cyclops models. If I ever buy another gen Rollie, this will be the one. Those frankens look amazing Ubi. PS: Will Rolex continue to produce the old styled no-date along with the 2010 fat lugs Sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolexmaniac88 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 That is one hell of a collection of no date subs! Dunno about others, but i particularly like the last sub you got there! However, the explorer does look nice aswell! To be honest, they all look incredible! Ubi is da Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmb Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 By-Tor - Not sure about the case but I saw a pic of what was labeled a 14060M on Melrose Jewelry's web site that had rehaut engraving and no lug holes. It just looked, well, wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fat lugs 2010 Sub was the biggest mistake Rolex ever made (imho). It's not an ugly watch or anything but how can they be stupid enough to touch perfection?

jmb Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 The only no lug-hole 14060M pic I can find right now is at jomashop.com but not real sure how credible they are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Carl Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 OK, great topic. Now let's see a 5510 or other 9-6-3 sub. Put 'em up if you have them. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilladame Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I found myself falling in love with the no-date versions too this year. It is just a clean, nice look. My next project will be a 5513, I hope I will acieve something nearly looking as great as yours. they all look fantastic!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an ugly watch or anything but how can they be stupid enough to touch perfection? That's easy, bro, the answer is $$s... They know that not only will n00b watch collectors and posers looking for a nice watch always think 'Rolex', but they also know that there are the collectors who will buy every variant of the watch they like, so it's bread and butter money for them And on topic... :thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
