The reference number 120460 doesn't actually exist in the official Rolex catalogue. It's highly likely there's a typo and the intended reference is the Rolex Submariner 124060, the no-date ceramic Submariner. This article will therefore focus on the Rolex Submariner 124060, addressing the points raised regarding its size, price, and overall value proposition. We'll also explore the related search terms provided.
The Rolex Submariner 124060: A Modern Icon
The Rolex Submariner 124060 represents a significant step in the evolution of this iconic dive watch. Replacing the 114060, it maintains the core DNA of the Submariner – rugged durability, exceptional water resistance, and impeccable legibility – while incorporating modern improvements. The most notable change is the adoption of the updated Calibre 3230 movement, offering improved accuracy, power reserve, and shock resistance. The case, though nominally the same 40mm size as its predecessor, feels slightly different on the wrist, a point we'll delve into further.
Size and Wearability: The 40mm Paradox
The statement that the 40mm Rolex Submariner 124060 wears larger than its stated size is a common observation. While officially 40mm, the combination of factors contributes to this perception:
* Lug-to-lug distance: The distance between the lugs (the points where the strap attaches to the case) significantly impacts how a watch wears. A longer lug-to-lug distance can make a watch feel larger on the wrist, even if the diameter is the same. The 124060's lug-to-lug measurement is approximately 47.5mm, contributing to its substantial presence.
* Case thickness: The 124060 is a relatively thick watch, adding to its overall bulk. This thickness, combined with the slightly curved caseback, further enhances the feeling of a larger watch.
* Bezel and Crown: The prominent, unidirectional rotating bezel and the substantial crown add to the overall visual size of the watch. These design elements contribute to the Submariner's robust and functional aesthetic, but also contribute to its perceived size.
* Wrist size: The perception of size is subjective and depends heavily on the wearer's wrist size. A 40mm watch will naturally feel larger on a smaller wrist and smaller on a larger wrist.
In short, while the 124060 is a 40mm watch, its design features contribute to a perceived larger size compared to other watches with the same diameter. This isn't necessarily a negative; many appreciate the substantial feel of the Submariner on the wrist.
