I agree. This is in my opinion the best modern sub iteration. I think the current sub should have just retained the 5 digit's case dimensions, upgraded the movt to a 3 day one, upgraded the bracelet to glidelock..

and last but not least, introduced the maxi dial from the kermit to its regular line-up. Then it would have been very easy for me to get off the fence.
Barring this one, I think the last best looking subs were the 4 digit refs (5512, 1680).. but then I'm not a vintage guy.
I've had a hard time getting into modern subs because the 5 digits have I think really small-ish lume indices and the 6 digits have that super case. Also, i really prefer 2-liner dials.
As it stands right now, I'm flip flopping between a good specimen 2 liner 14060 (which is not easy to stumble upon to these days) and a current 114060.. just because I'm thinking I need to experience a sub at some point. Anyway, I'll get around to it soon. I don't think the new sub will be attainable anyway
So, yeah, that's probably why I didn't really bother looking at subs throughout my life preferring the get a 2254 Omega SMP300 many moons back. There was just always something that prevented me from getting a sub.
Great sub, Jay. If I had the money to pony up the premium, I can see myself just getting this one and ending my long drawn sub search.

Speculation: A new Kermit coming soon?

There are no better watch enthusiasts than Rolex enthusiasts for speculation about potential new releases and discontinued pieces. Reading some of the threads elsewhere I see the perennial prediction of the Hulks discontinuation. We’ve been hearing that f...
A bigger watch would be of little interest.

Even my Hulk is a little on the beefy side for me, I’m definitely more of a fan of the older cases. We will know soon. At least there’s some buzz again with the events in Geneva and Rolex announcing next week.
I'm very curious about the 2020 Rolex news

I keep reading whispers that this year there will be "significant" news, maybe a new sub and explorer. Enjoy your Kermit as is, it is cool

I do remember the first time I saw the Kermit. A lady who ran the shop for a tailor in Hong Kong had one; that was early 2004. It was cool, and it was also interesting to see it on a ladies wrist as it wasn’t that common at the time for ladies to wear Sub...
You mean if they have a new Kermit?

It’s all random speculation, one of the other things Rolex does well is keep a lid on new product releases.
I could not care less

Purchased my LV in late 2004 from my AD and still have it. The more follow-ups they invent the better for our value
