I've been on this long journey finding out the right sub for me and it had me always going back to the 14060 as a first option..

Here's the pros:

1) lugs taper better even compared to the latest sub. Hell, my SD43 tapers better compared to the new sub.

2) lug holes

3) 40mm case although Rolex did a good job calling the new one a 41 (I think they did that to generate buzz) but is actually still 40 in feel given that it's only a less than half a millimeter bigger than the 114060

4) you've had it for years. Looks like you've worn it well.

5) probably not as precious to have it serviced outside of RSC. A real workhorse

6) I prefer the 2-liner but it's still a well-balanced dial even with the extra 2 lines

There are no cons relative to the new one as there is no perfect sub. Somehow I think Rolex has it in their DNA to make you the perfect imperfect watch so that you'd always be looking forward to the next iteration.. to see if they finally got it "right".

Whatever you do, don't sell it. It's never a good idea to sell a Rolex when you don't need the money.

Redundant with the new sub? As one poster said, not at all. I think it can work. You can baby the new one, for starters. And then you never ever have to worry about strap changes

Again, whatever you do, DO NOT SELL THIS ONE
