Marc16610 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Hi guys. Is there anyone who has seen the new Sub's with the engraved rehaut. I have heard from it but still haven't seen one. Is there someone who has some pics? Thanks a lot, Marc
alligoat Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Would this be the next sub- 116610? Might check the rolex website. Haven't seen it yet
Jetsons Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 The print on the new chapter ring apparently isn't too obvious on the wrist. Not sure why they added this to a simple tool watch. Pure speculation at this point but I've read the Sub line may also be getting the ceramic bezel insert treatment. Added: One more,
alligoat Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Is it real, Jet? Looks like a 14060M- no date
Jetsons Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Is it real, Jet? Looks like a 14060M- no date Sure is. It the new 14060M, now with new chapter ring and COSC certification proudly displayed on the dial. No other changes were made. Unfortunately, it's not mine.
alligoat Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Interesting, you can't find sheet on their website. Like you say, their tool watch- holes in lugs, 93150 bracelet, at least they upped it to a chronometer movt!
UB7 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 I was never a fan of the ROLEXROLEX chapter ring however on the pics posted above it seems rather subtle which is kind of a turn on...
docblackrock Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Pure speculation at this point but I've read the Sub line may also be getting the ceramic bezel insert treatment. Not speculation at all Have it on the very best authority that the new Sub and SD (116610 and 116660 respectively) will use the new thicker GMT 41mm case and will sport a ceramic diver's bezel (which interestingly enough is not a ratchet 120-click on the GMT but a 'jump' 24-click, so maybe a 60-click for the Sub/SD?) along with the Daytona-type clasp and bracelet - will be most likely announced at Basel next spring for release Q3/4 2008 and delivery from Q1 2009.
Dizzy Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 i can for sure see them going to a Daytona bracelet... Its a great bracelet and a better clasp but a little too 'fancy' for me. It will be really exciting to see exactly what Rolex does here... just hopefully the Submariner wont go the way of the Yacht-Master II.... The last thing i want to see is a 'Clown-Mariner II'
docblackrock Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Design is the same - maxi dial as per LV, the new bigger case seen in GMT, rehaut engraving, new bracelet and a ceramic version of same diver's insert. All-black. That's it. Nothing more. You can breathe again now, nothing to worry about
rosnik Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 I assume the Jetsons's pictures are from one GEN. SUBMARINER . They come back to folding first link and to holed springbar case??
docblackrock Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Yes it's gen. But they haven't "come back" to anything - the 14060M has always been the weird retrograde model in the Sub lineup.

thewightstuff Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) seen my first no date COSC sub over the weekend. all it did was reaffirm my decision that modern rolex are going backwards and that sticking with vintage was always the right decision. i find the engraving gaudy and noticeable when on the wrist too. it wouldnt surprise me if it saw the ceramic bezel added as it seems the way rolex are going these days. its sad that they feel the need to move further and further from their heritage but then again what do i know. no doubt they have some nice market research to show i know nothing at all and that people want more and more obvious watches. interestingly all those with modern rolex models that i know have been eschewing the sports models over the last year or two and picking up datejusts and daydates whenever they felt the need to add something. i know more than an handful of ADs with sub dates, sub no dates, TT subs and SDs all sitting in their cases when a year ago you would have had to hunt one down Edited October 10, 2007 by thewightstuff
NAVIGATER Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 And at alst a pure fantasy and it would be great f they came with this one
docblackrock Posted October 12, 2007 Report Posted October 12, 2007 And at alst a pure fantasy and it would be great f they came with this one Nice work, not far off what the 116610 will be like Sadly the red text and retro pearl is never gonna happen - Rolex seem quite happy to urinate on their own heritage these days p.s. can you try it with a date and also an SD version - interesting depth upgrading maybe take the SD to 5000ft since we're playing fantasy Rolex
