Nothing beats a classic Submariner 16610. While the old 'rattlesnake' bracelet is obviously of lower quality compared to the new Rolex bracelet, it yet wears very comfortably. I find the new bracelet, in particular the clasp, way too beefy. And I fully agree that lug/ bracelet taper does not look proportionate on the 114060. Anyway, many thanks for the comparison, nicely done!
Thanks so much for getting this video out so quick! Great to have both versions, you're so lucky! I agree with you that the new bracelet is much better but the case shape of the classic is unbeatable.
Although I admire the older Subs, for me the perfect Sub is the 114060, even compared to the 124060. For me, the dimensions and the way it wears is perfection. Great comparison Ty! Stay well brother! 👊🙏🌏
Have to agree with you, I prefer the 11XXXX gen design over the 12XXXX as they wear better on my smaller wrist (counterintuitively) and I enjoy the quirkiness of the super case which is destined to be iconic for its time in the coming decades. That said, the 5 digit models are arguably the last "true" tools and just embody that certain quality that's called out in the video (indescribable "charm")
Great comparison review Ty 👏I love them both and would be hard pressed to choose which one, they are so different for me and both have a real place in my heart.
Another great video! I think I prefer the new 124060 over the 114060 except the fact that I can’t get the rubber strap for it yet (21mm lug width). However the older sub you got is definitely a looker!! I do think it’s more aesthetically appealing! Congrats on these beautiful timepieces my friend!
Great vid. I have both. The size of the clasp on the 114060 is the only thing that annoys me on the newer ones. End up wearing the ore ceramic more often for comfort

Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for the feedback ✌️👊

You're welcome man! Thanks, appreciate the feedback! 🙏👊
The older 16610 is better i think. Special the 90 model without rehaut graving and stuff.
Thanks for the comment, I would definitely agree 👍 The older Subs also have so much CB more character imho.
I have a old Sub date I want to try on the new one just to compare both. I love the one I have 👌
The old ones are my favorite. Enjoy! ✌️

@@Newtypenewtype Well said! 👍👊

Thanks Mark! Hopefully I’ll never have to make that choice haha 😅 Hope you’re well brother 👊👊

Thanks man! Congrats on your new sub! How long did you have to wait for it? Best 🙏👊
@@ItaiFaierman Thanks Ty! I actually didn’t get it from an AD. However it was brand new, never worn. Still love it. My first experience with Rolex!
@@AshrafHassan72 Awesome! Enjoy 👊
Beatiful
Thanks!

Thanks! Yes I can see that. I’ve heard the clasps on the 41mm subs are even bulkier. Cheers ✌️👊
16610 in terms of originality, flow and elegant design is much better imo. The newer ones look more generic to me.
Couldn't agree more 👍
I once shook the same way you shook it, 3:08. The AD said multiple parts could break if done too many times...
Thanks for the tip 👍👊
If we swapped the bracelet or part of it then we will have a clear winner 😉
The newer subs are monstrous in size. Its a joke!
Haha ain’t it the truth! ✌️👊
No date all day long.
Great choice 👍👊
