Rolex Submariner 124060 41mm Unboxing & Collection Day Experience 🎁

[@notyourtypicalwatchreview2563]

I’m only a third of the way through the video, and I’m so impressed! Not only with the store experience, but the quality of the video! Beautiful work! Now, I’ll finish watching!

[@rayrmitch2]

Congratulations on your first Rolex purchase. I’m sure it will give you many years of enjoyment. Prestons are my local AD and I have nothing but praise for the standard of service they have provided over the years.

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Thank you Ray 🙏🏻 first Rolex is a big milestone for us watch enthusiasts - so this one is that little bit special. And so glad to hear your experience with Prestons has been consistently praiseworthy as well.

[@brownreport]

Congrats. I just picked up my third Rolex which was a Submariner. It is a clean slick looking watch, good for daily. Dress up or Dress down.

[@yannickandraschko1812]

Am i the only one that has never seen an Rolex AD being so polite to provide some presents for the Customer that is overpaying for an awesome massproduced watch?

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Not sure. But the gifts came as a surprise to me too and I got this watch at retail price so did not overpay for it 😉

[@AdamBranch-xl5bo]

Congrats! I have the 124060, as well. Quick tip - if you liked the black rubber "bracelet" on the Yachtmaster, you can purchase a black rubber strap for your Sub to get the same look. I purchased the Rubber B version (black), and you can use your Submariner clasp. It's a great way to get a different look - that looks fantastic - for $260.

[@trampus63]

Congratulations, you never forget your first Rolex experience and trust me, if you are lucky enough to buy more, it never gets any less exciting. Thanks for sharing.

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Fingers crossed to buying more one day.

[@peterlewis3540]

My first Rolex buying experience was back in 1978, when the watches were considerably cheaper to buy, and there were no difficulties in owning them. Even back in the late 70s, the steel Daytona was a rare watch, produced in tiny numbers, but my first Roles, an Explorer 1655 cost me £524

[@tomalophicon]

Their clever marketing has you people in a trance.

[@AmartyaKonar]

As they say every Rolex has a story to tell. I bought my Datejust with Fluted Bezel, Blue face and Jubilee bracelet back in 2022. That one is a stunner. Sometimes, I wrist-roll in private just to appreciate its beauty. These watches are absolute embodiment of top class craftsmanship.

[@AngeloR674]

Way way overpriced!!!

[@Matt-uq3in]

Just a classic watch, I have the 114060 just pure class 👍

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Its an icon. And honestly it was the 114060 that got me falling in love with the Sub - incredibly timeless & classy piece 👌🏻

[@dennisdischler6541]

I just purchased my first just a couple days ago. (Sea Dweller) I have to admit. My excitement was through the roof but my experience at the store was quite a let down. Yes they have you sit in the Rolex “area” but man when you are dropping almost 12Gs they should really think about the impression. Good for you that they threw in some gifts. Enjoy the piece my friend.

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Huge congratulations on your first Rolex Dennis and what a piece to start with 👌🏻 Surprised to hear you were not impressed by your collection day experience but I suppose it comes down to individual AD and the specific staff you end up dealing with? Thank you so much sharing your story though and enjoy your Sea Dweller in good in health my friend 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@1977JohnBoy]

think it helps when your filming for a youtube video!

[@tomwong-fo7lc]

Have both 116610ln and 126610ln. AT first could'nt dicide which on I like better. The more I look into it, I do prefer 41mm Submariner. The dail looks more legible and bigger. Nicer more elegant lugs. Does'nt look as blocky looking. I have an 8 inch wrist, Before I had to ware my 40mm sub loose on my wrist because bracelet was not wide enough, now it fills in perfectly.

[@ScotianBlooded]

no date great choice

[@edjack1993]

Congrats- cool experience (and nice watch!)

[@enricomarconi8358]

Great Choice going for the one without the date! Closer to the original and most of all, very well balanced on the eye!

[@yashara1e]

I think you should move clasp one link down The clasp does not seem centered on the back of your wrist

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Its the video making it look like that 😄

[@lexusisfv8]

I was just about to comment the same. Looks like all three links have been removed from the same side.

[@watchie3256]

Nice Video! 👍 I got my 124060 two weeks ago and it is such a beauty!🤩 You are lucky with your AD that you got some gifts. Take care. Greetings from Ruhrarea/Germany

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Thank you and congratulations on your purchase 🥂 I have been very lucky not just with the gifts but also to be able to get the Sub in the first place. Enjoy yours in good health 🙌🏻

[@aslee330]

Amazing! So happy for you, i could feel the excitement.

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Glad to hear the excitement comes across 🤩 incredibly lucky to have this one.

[@MonkeyChocolate]

Man, thanks a lot for convincing me to get Submariner 41 No Date. I think it looks cleaner compared to date version. Also, I've owned the 41 Datejust Jubilee Rhodium dial. Which is 5 days earlier from the No Date Submariner 😂🙏

[@Thankyou_3]

In the last 20 years, the emerging market collector’s wrist size is definitely smaller so what is with the massive oversize clasp, oversize lug size and noisy movement. The BB58 is perfect at 39mm in case size, perfect 20mm lug size and thickness of just 11.9 mm….The new sub should have followed the same sizes as the BB58! The new 41mm is clunky compared to the perfect proportions of BB58.

[@TwentyOne_Five]

It’s huge.

[@stevwest1394]

Rocking this masterpiece for a year now🫶 enjoy it brotha. greetings from switzerland

[@peterlewis3540]

Apart from the Daytona, which is virtually impossible to obtain new, at list price, from your AD, The Submariner is probably the safest watch to blow your hard earned cash on, as in the long term, it will retain its value, and if looked after and serviced when required, will go up in value as well. You will never lose money on a Submariner,

[@krfrench55]

Thank you. The wrist footage was recorded in a rush as I had to be somewhere urgently. The clasp does sit centered on my wrist in reality even though the 6’O’clock side has 3 links & the 12’O’clock side has 5links.

Really nice watch, amazing experience, and beautiful unboxing. I love the no date Submariner. The 1^ of February 2018 I bought a new to me (2015) 114060 from a reseller and I wear it with care for about a year. The watch was in good conditions but I decided to sold it in January 2019 in order to buy a new 114060. The 2^ of February 2019 I received from the AD (after a month of wait and was my first AD purchase) my new 114060 that could tell my story from the beginning . What an excitement. I really love this iconic watch and I will never sell it. Greetings from the Dolomites Mountains- North east of Italy.

[@AnIndianAbroad]

Haha...my suggestion would be to only buy a Submariner (or anything else really) if its a tiny percentage of your net worth. After all, there is no fun in spending £6500 on a Rolex, while you are paying someone else's mortgage 😉 but hey, what do I know - I am no financial advisor and this is definitely not financial advice 🙏🏻

[@ronniep9272]

The good news for you is that the value of this watch goes up all of the time because there is a waiting list. So you can buy it, experience it for a while and then make at least what you paid for it back if not more. It makes more financial sense than buying a flashy car which will always go down in value. Having said that, I once bought an Omega Speedmaster and returned it after a week as I did not own a property at the time.

[@PTR2K]

@@AnIndianAbroad Yeah I am currently still living at home with my parents. for the past year ive had the mentality of buy everything I want to get in the coming years now if possible and then save non stop for a house.
