This article explores the Rolex Submariner reference 14060, with the author positing it as the "most boring" Submariner due to its small indexes. The piece contrasts this with earlier models like the GMT-Master ref. 1675 and Submariner ref. 5513, which featured "Maxi Dials" with larger markers, arguing that these provided a superior visual balance and character.
The author's primary criticism of the Rolex Submariner ref. 14060 centers on the small size of its indexes, which they find unexciting.
The article draws a comparison to earlier Rolex models, such as the GMT-Master ref. 1675 and Submariner ref. 5513, highlighting the "Maxi Dial" variations with larger, more impactful hour markers.
The transition from painted luminous markers to white gold surrounds in later Submariner models is noted as a factor that diminished the "Maxi Dial" charm.
The "Kermit" Submariner ref. 16610LV is mentioned as an example that deviates from the perceived issue of smaller indexes found on the regular ref. 16610 and its dateless counterpart, the 14060.
