Selling my Rolex Submariner 114060 no date from Sep 2017.
Bracelet comes with 10 links on the watch with 2 full and 1/2 link as a spare in the box.
Warranty card, booklet, tags (White and green), Bezel protector and a box along with the original sale receipt from Birks and 5 year extra warranty card included in this purchase.
Watch has been worn in rotation with other watches, but not abused. Fairly good condition with some surface marks but nothing major, Some stickers are still there even after these many years. Most wear is on the clasp and from strap change marks. I have few images here and can provide additional if required.
Priced at $13,500 Prefer local sale in Mississauga but happy to ship it with flagship at your cost.
No trades, unless you have a newer motorcycle for trade + cash coming my way

The case
The 904L stainless steel case is 40mm in diameter, 48mm lug to lug across the wrist (without including the fixed end links of the bracelet), and 12.5mm thick. The case is predominantly satin finished on its front, with the case sides mirror polished. The Rolex Submariner 114060 has a larger presence than its predecessors, but in my opinion that is more in feeling than in specification. As an example the older Rolex Submariner 1680 is 47.6mm lug to lug – less than a mm smaller than the 114060. Both watches are also 40mm in diameter, and the 1680 is over a millimetre thicker than the 114060.So, why does the 114060 feel like the largest of them all? The Rolex Submariner 114060 not only introduced a uni-directional Cerachrom bezel to the Submariner, but also a new maxi-case profile that forsakes the tapered and bevelled lugs found previously. Instead we have more block-like lugs that make the watch look like it hit the gym and put on some muscle mass.
The dial
The gloss black dial of the Rolex Submariner 114060 is highly legible, which is quite surprising considering the crystal has no AR coating. The black backdrop seemingly absorbs all of the light that hits it, with minimal reflection to obstruct your view of the time. The hands and applied indices are made of white gold to prevent tarnishing over time, and are filled with their proprietary Chromalight lume that shine bright blue when you find yourself in darker settings. The coating has a very high endurance with the elements glowing for many hours without feeding on light.The hours hand is fashioned in the famous Mercedes format, with a lollipop seconds hand that also harks back to previous designs. The lume plots of the indices, however, have grown in size – the maxi dial creating much more visible indicators on its surface. At 12 the Rolex name and logo is printed on the dial, along with the Oyster Perpetual foundation of its build (note it does not say Oyster Perpetual No Date). At 6 o’clock, four lines of text are printed including the Submariner name, the Superlative Chronometer status of the movement, and its level of water resistance (feet first). While many enthusiasts would prefer less printed boasting on the dial, I find it largely harmless and, fortunately, it does little to breakup the dial.
The bracelet
The Oyster bracelet is fully satin brushed across the top surfaces of the links and clasp, with only the sides mirror polished (matching the tone of the case). Each link is secured by a screw, a more trusted system than the more cost efficient pin and collar found on less expensive models. The Oyster clasp houses the ingenious Glidelock system that, like EasyLink, allows the wearer to make quick adjustments to the size of the bracelet. Whereas Easylink can add 5mm of length, Glidelock can add up to 20mm of length through ten increments of 2mm. This allows owners to not only stretch the bracelet over a dive suit, but also achieve the perfect fit on their bare wrist. No need to source half links, or play musical links with a screwdriver. The easy-to-use system can be incrementally adjusted to what you consider the best size.The movement
The Rolex Submariner 114060 is powered by the Superlative Chronometer 3130 caliber, manufactured in-house by Rolex. The movement is extremely robust and accurate thanks to its full balance bridge and regulation to run within plus or minus two seconds per day. The power reserve of 48 hours may no longer blow everyone’s mind today, but it is still two days of reliable timekeeping off the wrist. Let’s face it though, the watch will certainly get a lot of wear time and as result be perpetually wound to run with its automatic movement.** Text Credit
