The purist's Submariner, and the one people regret not buying.
The 124060 is the no-date Submariner as Rolex redrew it in 2020: 41 mm rather than 40, with slimmer lugs and a slightly narrower bracelet than the reference it replaced, on calibre 3230 with about 70 hours of reserve.
Losing the date loses the Cyclops with it, which is the actual argument. The crystal is flat and unbroken, the dial is symmetrical, and the watch reads as a tool rather than a dress watch pretending to be one. It is the version most collectors end up preferring and the version fewer people buy first.
It is a current production reference, which in Rolex terms still means a waiting list rather than a shelf. Tell us whether you want unworn or would take a good used example, and whether the earlier 114060 would do, and we will tell you what that does to the timing.
