The new for 2012, Rolex Submariner Ref. 114060, affectionally called the No-Date Submariner, should be hitting you local authorized dealer in the next few weeks. The new Ref. 114060 migrates the watch to the new heftier Maxi case, with a "Maxi" dial (larger hands and markers), brings a new more premium clasps and comes with the now standard ceramic bezel.
The suggested retail price is US$7,500. That is a little over US$1,000 lower than its sibling with a date display, the Ref. 116610LN. Since you can probably negotiated a small 4-5% discount on the Ref. 116610LN, the price difference between the two should be about US$700. If you wait a bit, you can probably save a few hundred dollars if you are willing to wait a few months. Still, being one of the first to get one is really cool.
The US$7,500 retail price puts the Ref. 114060 about US$1,200 higher than the list price for the older Rolex Submariner 146060M. You can still get a small discount on the 14060M, the price difference will be more like US$1,500. If you have been sitting on the fence, it might be a good time to pick up the Ref. 14060M. If it the last of the Rolex watches with the old style clasp, non-SEL bracelet, the aluminum bezel and lug holes. The last of the Rolex modern classics.
