For a long time I thought it was too classic and that I should look for a more original watch, but as soon as I tried it on my wrist I mostly told myself that I was crazy not to have bought it before. it's the best, always precise, the most comfortable oyster bracelet of all that I had before, the robustness, it does not leave my wrist from Monday to Sunday, where I live there are no security problems so I enjoy it as much in a t-shirt as in a suit

Dream of most watch lovers, I was lucky enough to be able to afford this new sub. True to my dreams, I take great pleasure in wearing it: aesthetic, versatile, sober, luxurious, symbolic, precise, robust… it slips easily on the wrist whatever the circumstances. This watch is undeniable :-)

Timeless, iconic, robust, reliable, simple and efficient. Tritium index with a crazy patina, slightly blued bezel, this 14060 always makes me crack. If there were to be 2 left, it would be part of the lot (with my Zenith El Primero Revival A384). Model from 1991, it combines both the advantages of vintage with its tritium indexes and its aluminum bezel, and the advantages of modern (robustness of the movement, precision and water resistance)

My SUB 14060M, what can I say… An icon often copied but that nothing replaces. The diver that we want to see enthroned in our collection. This “no date” reference combines simplicity and sobriety with its aluminum bezel, to my taste, more discreet than the references that will succeed it. If there were to be only one left, it would be this one of course…

The "chronology" in the purchase of this watch is important, and yes, ... after having acquired the watch of my childhood dreams 5.6 years before, a blue Date 15200, with its crazy blue ... I was so happy with it that I had no need for another one, having worn it every day for 5 years without fail as if it were any Swatch ... then, came the moment ... when I dressed in black ... the Blue .... It was "crappy" .... And at the same time, when I saw all these people around me, often well worn .... Especially when it was "an old one", all the movie actors, singers, artists .... Everyone I admired had it .... It was not necessarily my favorite at first ... the proof is, I bought it after the blue one in the perfect size .... And then, one morning ... I had the money in cash stashed at home .... I was looking at a book of Steve McQueen photos, he had a No Date… and bam, here we go… I asked around who could get me 20 points… impossible in 2005… (I had a 20% discount on the blue one at the end of 99…) but I still managed to get the 10 points… Good!!!! €3290!!! It’s quickly forgotten 😁…. At the same time, I had seen a sublime Red Sub from the 70’s for €3800, in 2005 it was possible… today, they are easily worth 20 or 25,000… too bad… I was less daring… and then I wanted it to be mine… I would patina it myself…. And then, love at first sight…. For at least 5 years, I only wore the Sub… at the time everyone wanted it with the date… fashions change and have proven me right…. When people noticed that I had a Sub, I always suspected that it was a fake, and I explained to them, oh yes... it's really ordinary to wear that... disconcertingly ordinary... I almost apologized, it's impossible to have a fake, it's ridiculous, there have been millions of them... But deep down, I knew that it was the most desirable... I've known collectors with incredible watches... and who only wore their Sub every day... that's where I explained to everyone... what is a good watch???? The one you never put in a drawer... And especially don't buy similar models from other, cheaper brands... While continuing to dream of a Sub on other people's wrists... A purchase of a lifetime, that you never regret... And that I would have immense pleasure in passing on to my son later before he dies….😁it will create a lifelong bond if he doesn’t get hit….

My Rolex Submariner holds a special place as my first foray into the world of luxury watches. Its acquisition in 2015 following an event, ties me to it in an unbreakable way. At the time, the quest for a Rolex did not require the current patience of x years of waiting, with no guarantee of success. My parents, leaving on a trip, consulted the Rolex boutique at the airport for this specific watch. Unavailable on site, they learned that it was in Paris, conditioning its setting aside on my visit in the following two days, without any history in this boutique. My first luxury watch entered my life at the age of 32, a time when my watchmaking horizon was limited. Naturally, Rolex became an obvious choice. The Submariner, emblem of the brand, offered me the choice between the Sub Date and the No Date. I opted for the latter, more faithful to the original model and whose balance of the dial, without date, seemed optimal to me, also eliminating the presence of a cyclops. To detail my opinion, I will address each part of the watch. The sapphire crystal, a crucial element for a tool watch, stands out as a real asset, with the laser-engraved Rolex logo, a detail that I discovered later, but which reinforces the attention to detail characteristic of Rolex. The unidirectional bezel offers pleasant handling, with sparkling ceramic, scratch-resistant, and intended to retain its shine over time. This is not an aspect that bothers me; if I had wanted a model that would patina over time, I would have opted for vintage. The current shine will remain the same when my daughter wears it one day. The dial, just as dazzling, seduces with its four lines that harmoniously occupy the space. The absence of a date contributes to a perfect symmetry, accentuated by the Rolex engraved flange, a real visual pleasure. The use of Rolex Super-Luminova for the indexes and hands adds valuable functionality by offering exceptional readability in the dark. With its 40 mm, the case fits perfectly on my 17.5 cm wrist. The thinness of the watch ensures ideal proportions. The movement, reliable and precise, required a revision after 8 years, marked by the watch stopping following a broken mainspring. The water resistance of this watch guarantees undeniable robustness. As for the bracelet, it is impeccable and pleasant to wear, with the Glidelock system allowing summer adjustments when the wrist tends to swell. For five years, this watch has been my daily companion, resistant to all tests, a real tool watch. It has traveled with me, has been immersed in all kinds of adventures, from New York to Marrakech. She followed me on quads, jet skis, buggies, skis… Today, I treat her a little more carefully, my collection having expanded, and my other watches taking over. In conclusion, my Rolex embodies my first real watch. Witness to my travels, it remains the sure pillar of my collection, matching all outfits. It's always fun to see people's eyes fall on it. Essential, timeless, it is much more than a simple watch, it is a Rolex.

"100m" version of the famous Submariner worn by James Bond (reference 6538, water-resistant to 200m), reference 6536 takes all the attributes, apart from the reduced case thickness and the smaller crown. It is a professional diving watch from the 50s, which stands out today for its timeless charm and its refined design, especially with a lacquered "tropical" dial.

Here is one of the most important watches in my collection, a superb Rolex Submariner reference 114060. I am not going to be very original in saying that it was my absolute grail and that my dream was fulfilled! I use the imperfect as perfection does not exist in this world. There is nothing to say about the robustness or the precision very largely within +2/-2 seconds announced, but rather about putting things into perspective. Since the release of the new reference 124060, I have the feeling that the 114060 is a bit "bestial" with its very wide case at the lugs! Did I rush when I could get it? Should I have chosen an older one like a 14060? I admit that I don't really know what to think anymore! Or rather yes! In fact, I have reached my grail and I realize now that there are other more modest, more expensive, rarer, simpler grails... In short, it's not easy to consider what's next after having had your Sub! Let's get back to the watch: ultra-comfortable, solid, less recognizable than a Rolex with the date but not unhappy with the effect it has on those around me either! To be done again, perhaps thinking a little more about my tastes rather than my dreams... Thank you Xavier and the whole Dialicious team for this superb platform +1

When: part.1 of the path (reminder part.0: it was an imitation of Swatch camouflage model) so it was when I was an intern and I was phophating in the shadows while dreaming of an automatic watch How; a head of clinic, FAM, a crazy blog on "my Rolex Sub 14060M 2 lines. Emotion: watch not assumed the first 3 months by its price (3200 euros) so much I did not think that it was reasonable compared to my parents, friends or people in general. I did not leave it for 10 years. The next one: an IWC mark XV on the bay

We've said everything, seen everything, said everything again and reviewed everything about Rolex, especially about the Submariner. And yet! This one is a 14060M (4 lines) that I acquired more than two years ago via the CDA. It was my first watch "madness". Since then, my tastes in watches have of course evolved a lot: having gone through Longines, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Omega, returned to Rolex twice (more vintage), etc., nothing helps. This watch is simply unrivaled for me. Far from the bling bling of certain Rolex models that shine with 1000 lights (DateJust 41 fluted bezels and other ceramic models or mirror-polished bracelets), this one is for me the quintessence of Rolex, with enough modernity in terms of comfort and robustness to withstand any test and the contained size and the aluminum bezel. A flaw perhaps? We see too many Submariners everywhere... whether on social media, or in the street/on café terraces: often misused on the wrists of suits and ties that often don't go well with the essence of this sporty, all-terrain diver. In this case, a simple recipe: leave it in the watch box for more than a week and the excitement comes back at a gallop!
