Hello ESE2! Thank you so much for your kind answer...

... and I feel I must agree with you in this one. Rehaut inscriptions and the COSC legend, are two features I do not completely like in the new (last) version of the 14060M.

In spite of this, I feel it was the last of the classic Submariners left.

This is not to say, I don´t like the new generation of date and non date ceramic bezels Subs. I understand it is a matter of evolution, but regretably, this evolution gets the design far from the original concept I feel.

Of course it´s just a matter of personal tastes, and points of view, very subjective, as it happened to me with the DSSD, which I have to recognize it is a great and magnificent made watch.

Fortunately we have a large selection of Rolex to choose, both vintage and modern, to satisfy our tastes!
Have a nice day, and I send you my best cordial regards, Abel.

... why do you hate the 14060M? I´m a declared Submariner fan, and love it in all its versions, vintage and modern (though I must confess a bit biassed for the vintage ones!). I got the two you show, but I never could really fell in love with the big DSSD...

Thanks guys ;)

Abel I remember your story with the "SDDS" offered to your son, beautiful gift :) Look, I do not like 14060M, because it failed to evolve with the rest of the range. What bothers me most is the EL, and on the latest versions: flange (rehaut) engraved and ...

A hard decision

Thanks for the nice comparative photos. I already have the Sea Dweller and am hoping to add the new no-date Sub to my collection. Very hard to choose between the two. The SD is a bold watch, heavy - and makes a big statement. I actually like the weight on...
