originally I wanted the date but to be honest at when I got the call for a no date i immediately took it. The no date is so much more classy, un complicated and a breath of fresh air. One if not THE most famous watches of all time. This is THE Rolex. I don’t need the date as much as I thought it would.
As with many (Rolex but also other brands) watches, some of them look so much better in the flesh (metal), this is one of those pieces. Stunning in real life.
I expressed interest with my AD back in June and got the call to pick up in October after a 5 month wait so it is possible to purchased a Submariner at retail. You have to build a relationship with your AD and having a bit of spend history helped in my case - purchased a Tudor Black Bay Bronze in 2017 and Omega Speedmaster in 2020. Couldn’t be happier with the Submariner 124060 - such a clean dial and l actually had a choice between a date and non Date offered by my AD and l wanted the purity of the no date. After l picked up the Sub, my AD called me 3 weeks later to offer the Tudor Pelagos FXD which is also a non Date version of the already brilliant Pelagos 😎. Will be looking to add the GMT Batman next year 😅
I bought this today on the grey market. I can’t stop looking at my wrist. Had no issue buying it today and happy I didn’t play the AD politics game of buying 2-3 watches I don’t want just to be on a waitlist.
Is Rolex the only Company in the history of mankind that has a product people want, whom are willing to pay for it, decides that they just aren’t going to supply demand? Crazy.
I am fascinated by Rolex, in fact it is the only brand that I have three pieces of, but in my opinion it only has two things better than Omega and Grand Seiko, the marketing and the appearance.
I have had 2 Omegas and then a Seadweller. Rolex beats Omega due to the resale value. The Rolex bracelet has evolved into perfection. So comfortable, easy to size yourself and nothing snags and it’s super secure. Expensive but awesome and a good investment. Waiting for a Sub as I sold Dweller. Can’t wait. Won’t go back to Omega 🙃
You've had the opposite experience to me haha I found the seamaster bracelet extremely comfortable and the overall case shape of the omega to be more comfortable as well. let alone the movement being somewhat superior at the moment to Rolex. You can't beat the value that omega brings with the seamaster costing roughly half of what an equivalent sub would be. Resale value would be a separate topic, if you want that just buy limited editions and call it a day!
I have the 114060 in my collection lovely watch true classic purchased it from AD 2019 very happy to own it, just bought the sinn ux 403 041 and it's something else absolute tank of divers watch 👍
If the flippers are buying these then selling them, flippers or the watch cartel should I say, selling these all at the same price, if you were to buy one, then what? There are about 350 for sale on Chrono24, and all around the same price. If you were to buy one, to wear, strange concept buying a watch to wear and not flip, will you never get your money back should you beside to sell? Shock horror, someone selling a watch besides wanting to rip someone off. Because they were able to get it from the stinking AD they managed to bribe and you ended up over paying on the grey market. And the money has been made. I can’t see these watches going up in price.
Rolex is just hyped right now, there are many other great brands to choose while this mess is going on and I highly suggest buying those vs one of these gray or even from a A.D. don't support it and overtime the market for them will go back to normal. I have a feeling the current fad will eventually die out.
I’d never understood they hype around the Sub and then saw this model for the first time last week. Now I get it! Your review perfectly summed up my feelings when looking at this sub. As you said, the quality of clasp, bracket and beautiful look is just next level. The shine of the hour enumerate and dial just left me speechless. It made my SMP300 and BB58 just look second rate.
If Rolex would make it available, I’d buy one. If the sellers in the Grey Market would stop trying to rip people off ( $5K and more over RRP) I’d buy one there. Both don’t so I don’t get one.
Hey man , I had a question/request for you . Could you please measure and let me know the size of then sapphire crystal ? Just to get an idea for the size of the dial. I would be very grateful to you if you could help me out with that , thanks in advance !
Thanx for the video.. I got mine a month ago and love it.. How is the accuracy after 2 years?? I have read some amplitude problems regarding 32xx movement..
Mine is good! though I will say the GS spring drive and surprisingly the Omega seamaster coaxial movements are more accurate! all awesome watches though
I love this video and will watch your others! You've done an "over the top" review of the Submariner in mentioning all the finer details and sharing your honest opinion of the watch and purchase. Btw, my AD admits there's no lists but as they say, they take person of interest requests for whatever watch you desire and tell you up front they're unsure how long it will take, but they'll eventually get it. With that said, I put in my requests this past April for the 124060 and got the call two weeks ago. I love mine, just afraid to wear now like most of my other 5 digit series watches :). ***May I asked what your using in setup for the video, specifically camera equipment used as the video details are spectacular. I hope to hear back soon as I am considering sharing some of my watches online as well. Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing back soon!
Thank you so much for your support. This platform is just more a way for me to express my interest and no more as I do not recieve anything for making these videos but it let's me connect with individuals such as yourself where we share the same passion and I think that is awesome and well worth it. As far as equipment I'm just using my iPhone and it gets the job done so far!
You obviously do not understand Rolex. The Rolex movement is more robust than any other competitor. It’s certainly not finished well but that’s not the objective. Rolex makes the finest luxury tool watches. Better than Omega, GS, etc. Many purchase a Rolex because of the prestige others purchase a Rolex because it is the best at what it does.
Right but I would not discount Omega or GS. They make very solid watches as well and I would argue a seamaster could take the same beating a submariner could. I love my Submariner and think it is amazing but I would not be quick to discount other watches based off of the tool aspect alone, as in today's market there are many and most if not all are just as robust. Including Seiko for example the SLA017 or SKX. Those watches can take abuse and always keep ticking just as well, with or without service in 10 years!
I'm sure it will. Even if someone gave me a Rolex I would sell it. For a mass produced watch they are simply not worth what they cost. Rather spend 10k on something else. A lot of something else! 😀💕
Great review and honesty, on the time it took on allocating this beauty! There are a lot of liars on UA-cam or other platforms, that say the they got their hard models in 1 week to 2 months! The buy the watch on the Grey market, then say they got the call!
My AD receives much less no date models than date models so therefore it was tougher to acquire than a date model but yes 5 months, you were very lucky indeed!
Cost - Roughly $9000 USD from an A.D. How to buy - Buy grey market or put your name on the list and wait and wait and wait...and finally when you're done waiting you walk over to an omega boutique and buy a seamaster in 2 seconds :D
Congrats! I put my name down in late 2019 for one which was the maxi case. I am glad I didn't get the call for that one and I am now waiting for the 41mm. Any day now hopefully.
Your chances being on the "list" are pretty slim. There will always be someone who walks in and soends $15k on other items that will get the watch. Try this: tell your dealer you would be willing to buy another item (pick it out) if they can find you x watch. Think about spending the same as grey market but you get 2 or more items.
@@Watch4Me Well I do have a good purchase history and relationship with the AD. I got the call for a Pepsi last March so I was assured by the GM who happens to be a friend that the next Sub is mine. Good tips though for anyone willing to travel down the hellish path of Rolex land.
Nope, I never said that. There’s a certain type of enthusiast that prefers a no date that is all. I never once said someone who prefers a date is not a real enthusiast let alone an enthusiast at all. Please do not put this negativity into my video if you did not understand my meaning.
I understand your confusion now. What I mean was that the date model is more common and found on the wrist of hardcore enthusiasts and casual watch wearers where the no date models is mostly just bought up by enthusiasts and not really seen on wrists of more casual fans.
I hate the internet and UA-cam. It now has me wanting a Submariner 124060. 😢

Yes, I actually feel that way more when it comes to my grand seiko's (and seiko) and omega's as well
I purchased this watch right after it was released and I love it! Nice piece. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!

COST how much ?
Just got mine today! Best watch I’ve ever put on my wrist! This video is spot on! Thank you!
Bought a 2020 no date in 2023 +$2500 above current list price ! This is the one Rolex. Although cheapest. Is so strong resales. Cannot wait 28 months
Identical purchase, I paid 2k plus retail and tax from grey CDN. I would do it all over again.
I bought this today on the grey market. I can’t stop looking at my wrist. Had no issue buying it today and happy I didn’t play the AD politics game of buying 2-3 watches I don’t want just to be on a waitlist.
Very awesome and sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and get what you want right away! I can respect that. Enjoy!
Same here, I’ll pay for the line skip and I’m a happy owner 124060
nice honest review had my 124060 just overca year a grail watch i never thought id own butvthe hype is justified ..amazing watch
Not a big fan of the date complication, no date sub is the best! Enjoy your Submariner in good health. Cheers man!
Yes indeed! Thank you very much!
Is Rolex the only Company in the history of mankind that has a product people want, whom are willing to pay for it, decides that they just aren’t going to supply demand? Crazy.
Babylon bee type of post 😂, it’s crazy world 🌎
Porsche and Ferrari as well lol
No date > date sub

I got a ocean rover 2 blue ceramic date, and it scratched the rolex itch pretty damn well.

ROLEX IS KING 👑
1000000% agree. No date is the way to go.

The gloves are my favorite part 😂
Don't want people focusing on my hands vs the watch lol
What’s the weight of 124060 including all the links?
Thanx for the video.. I got mine a month ago and love it.. How is the accuracy after 2 years?? I have read some amplitude problems regarding 32xx movement..
Mine is good! though I will say the GS spring drive and surprisingly the Omega seamaster coaxial movements are more accurate! all awesome watches though
That thing looks good on your wrist, bro I need one💯
Amen
Recently got on the list for a Sub no date. Hoping I don’t have to wait years to get a call. Wish me luck.
You won't have to any longer. They are readily becoming available.

Lose the gloves.
The boxes are not “cheap”. Try buying one…second hand.
oh of course they will run a pretty penny for sure!
I guess I was luck I waited five months for the date version
My AD receives much less no date models than date models so therefore it was tougher to acquire than a date model but yes 5 months, you were very lucky indeed!
Congrats on your new acquisition. Enjoy it. Great vid. 👍🏽
Thank you! 🙏
BRAZIL.
could anybody answer me how do i get one of these watches. whats the cost at an AD ?
Cost - Roughly $9000 USD from an A.D.
How to buy - Buy grey market or put your name on the list and wait and wait and wait...and finally when you're done waiting you walk over to an omega boutique and buy a seamaster in 2 seconds :D
@@watchyoulove that’s a sign I was telling myself should I buy an omega instead.the no time to die
Congrats. You should do a state of the collection video.
Thanks! I was thinking about it but I didn't want to do the same thing everyone does...maybe I'll change my mind!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Congrats! I put my name down in late 2019 for one which was the maxi case. I am glad I didn't get the call for that one and I am now waiting for the 41mm. Any day now hopefully.

@@xekret yep that's the way to do it. No relationship means no "list". Right on! Congrats
Well I never bought a watch from this AD. Just luck I guess.
@@watchyoulove It happens sometimes! Congrats!
Rolex forgot to attach the cyclops. Send it back you need the iconic Rolex cyclops.
the original submariner was without the cyclops
I’m well aware. And your point being?
If you get the call on the list. It's not because you are on the top of the list. You are basically last on the list. 🙃
Cool, did you get one too?
@@watchyoulove Yes I did. It was exciting and expensive to entice the AD with other purchases. I would do it all again, box, papers and stickers.
Wow, I’m glad I didn’t have to do any of that! 🙃
It looks like it might be a fake. you'd better get it checked.
Nope! bought this directly from a reputable A.D. and they took the stickers off in front of me.
Stupid comment 🤦♂️
So if you prefer the date variant . Your not a real enthusiast . Turned off right there
