) is in it, and I thought I should join him in this forum as well (I'm in SG-ROC and WUS too). Hope to learn more from you guys here 
The Rolex Submariner reference 114060 represents a significant evolution of the no-date Submariner line, introduced in 2012. This reference is distinguished by its ceramic bezel insert and the "Maxi Case," which features broader lugs and crown guards compared to previous generations, giving it a more substantial presence on the wrist while retaining the classic 40mm diameter. It succeeded the reference 14060M and brought modern material science and design updates to a beloved tool watch. This model is notable for its clean, symmetrical dial, free of a date window and cyclops lens.
This reference features a 40 mm Oyster case crafted from 904L stainless steel, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance. The case houses the Rolex Caliber 3130, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex, offering a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The watch is fitted with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to 300 meters (1,000 feet), secured by a Triplock winding crown. The unidirectional rotatable bezel is equipped with a black Cerachrom insert, made from a hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic.
For collectors, the 114060 is appreciated for its blend of traditional Submariner aesthetics with contemporary robustness and materials. It appeals to those who prefer the uncluttered look of a no-date dial and the enhanced durability of a ceramic bezel. Its production run from 2012 to 2020 makes it a relatively modern reference, yet it is now discontinued, having been replaced by the 41mm reference 124060. This reference is often considered a modern classic, bridging the gap between vintage proportions and contemporary Rolex engineering.
Firstly, welcome here. It is always great to see new collectors joining the forum. And, for the record, absolutely no need to apologize for that collection. What a fantastic set of watches to have accumulated before completing A levels. Quite incredible. My son is bang in the middle of A levels too, and like you he is also developing a taste for collecting. You have a very interesting cross-section of watches and the Rolex is one that many on this forum love. So, welcome to the forum....great to
Thanks mate! All the best to your son's A Levels! :)
I'm taking the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level Paper, subjects are H2 Economics, H2 Geography, H2 Literature in English, H1 General Paper, H1 Project Work and H1 Chinese :)
......good luck with all those. Once your exams are over, maybe get some time to take some wrist shots of that Rolex and also let us know what motivates you on the Oysterdate
It'd be my pleasure to do so :)
Take your time, enjoy the necessary homewirk before owning a watch, save some money, and you will see that this pleasure of ours is a bit... Crazy. ,) All the best. Nicolas
