    This is great content. There are so many videos on subs, but this is the best comparison I have seen with 3 models on camera at the same time.

    Love the aesthetic of the pre ceramic 5 digit. But when you handle them they feel flimsy .beautiful watches though. I have the 126610in and love it.

    Lovely Sub collection. I prefer the tapered bracelet of the Hulk and smaller clasp vs the newer reference. I have a black Rolex GMT and BlackBay 58, the green of the Hulk would diversify my collection even though they all have that diver look. Many mistake my GMT for a black Sub. Hoping prices fall a tad further for a secondary market Hulk before I pull the trigger on one. Thanks for sharing!

    The 124060 is the pinnacle of Subs, the evolution ends there!!! That said, the lineup is pure fire 🔥! Owing any is a blessing.

      Hey Spittin Venom I'd 100% agree with you if I had a bigger wrist! They've made perfect proportions but it's grown. I think one of the best modern Rolex's size wise and proportion wise is the SD4k. In my opinion if they could replicate that on the 5 digit or just make a 11 series with a more sculptured case that could be it. How big is your wrist? What do you like best about the 12 series? Happy in New Year in advance!

      @@wristshotter7832 wrist size is a little too over 7 inches, the 70 hour power reserve, deep black symmetry of that dial that reminds me of the abyss, the incremental bracelet adjustment is amazing, and the slight tapering from the lugs to the bracelet pleases my eyes more, it’s like a robust beauty with legs that go forever and sines in that blue lume. That said, it is one of the few watches I wear above my wrist bone 🦴 or just on it because the crown can dig into the wrist! Imho, there is no substandard Sub, from the OG to the 2 liner to the 6 digits etc, they all harken back to a simple, minimalist design that somehow is iconic and makes a statement but most subtly. Honestly, I’m looking at getting a 5 digit to bookend the collection 😂 that way my boy and I have “matching” Subs because the 124060 was a gift for him, 18th birthday 🎂, his wrist is about 7 inches and wears just perfect on his slender wrist (like you said, even though two people have the same size wrist, one can be more slender than the other, and the watches might look different on the shape of the wrist) anyway, I apologize for the lengthy response, great video and congrats on an amazing collection.

    Your right to point out how much bigger the latest model appears. The defining characteristic of the new one is that it wears much bugger.
    It’s also flat like a pancake.

    I had the two on the right (in black). Sold both. Bad proportions. They should have stayed closer to the 5 digit

    • @wristshotter7832
      @wristshotter7832  10 місяців тому

      Hey twentyonefive thanks for watching and commenting - Yup the 12 series is just that bit too big! After you sold both did you go back to a 5 digit? I think the Sd4k is perhaps the best modern day Rolex in terms of size with perfect proportions.

    The 16610 might look smaller, but it also looks so much bigger in its aggressive character. I love the 124060, although it does look a bit clinical. Personally, I have a 16610 and a 16613.

    Wearing an older model ROLEX gives you more “gravitas” and gives an aura of being part of “old money”.

    The no date Submariner has always been and will always be my favorite watch. Thank God for clone/homage watches though. My dream watches have always been a Rolex Sub in Titanium, a Sub with a Meteorite dial and a Sub with a faded blue to black James Cameron style dial. Fortunately I have been able to acquire all of them through micro brands because Rolex hasn't made them.

    • @wristshotter7832
      @wristshotter7832  9 місяців тому

      Hey Sinjin, Thanks very much for watching and commenting - You have great taste my friend! I can't imagine a Titanium sub coming out soon but that would be amazing - Only similar dive watch I can think of is a Pelagos - Very toolish or a Grand Seiko SBGA375 - Not sure of the exact titanium reference. Microbrands are amazing - They have a great understanding of what exactly enthusiasts are after - Mainly because it's the enthusiasts that start them up! I've come across a brand called San Martin - Whilst being clearly Tudor inspired - They've made what we really want - A white dial BB Pro, a Sub / Pelagos diver etc etc and the quality appears top notch for the price. The hobby unites us all - Let me know of some other good micro brands, would love to check them out! Thanks again man!

      San Martin and Cronos are the two main brands. San Martin makes the grade 5 Titanium Rolex 116600 Sea Dweller homage. They also make a beautiful faded blue to black mother of pearl dial. Cronos also makes a faded blue to black dial. They just recently came out with a limited edition Sub homage with a meteorite dial. All great watches.

    • @wristshotter7832
      @wristshotter7832  9 місяців тому

      Hey Bud, I had to just double check on Google translate so the plural of bezel - bezels translates as Lunette but bezel is facette. Perhaps a French speaker who might read this comment could clarify? From my understanding it's bezel so the 126613LN is the Black / Noir TT and 126613LB is the Blue / Blu TT, the 124060, 114060, 14060m etc and other dateless siblings have never had LN after then but then again have never been offered in any dial colour variations. So you could also be right? When I next see my AD, I'll clarify but I reckon they'll also be clueless about this haha.

    Noticed that you have the bracelets set up differently on 11 vs 12 series - the former has 5 links on the 6 o clock side whereas 4 links on the latter. You mentioned the 11 slides around, might be in part due to this.

    • @wristshotter7832
      @wristshotter7832  10 місяців тому +1

      Hey Nick, you are likely to be right there - I haven't got round to adjusting the bracelet on the 11 series. Will have to swap it round and see if it makes a difference. It's interesting how those small adjustments make a change - Earlier this year I had read up on the forums of SD4k owners removing their diving extension and just replacing with additional links to improve comfort - The 116610 and 116600 have the same bracelet. I did the same thing to mine and I was amazed at just how comfortable it became. Thanks for watching and commenting, wishing you a great New Year ahead and will soon let you know if it makes a difference 👍

      Thanks, always enjoy your vids. Interesting to hear your perspective on the 12 wearing larger than the 11. Do you have any experience with the current 126710 GMT, if so how does that wear compared to your 12 sub? I’m debating between these two, have a 6.5” wrist.
