Opinions on owning two modern submariners

+1, well stated. Imho, if you like the look, ruggedness, and functionality of a Rolex Sub, it's totally OK to have more than one (Date and No-Date), and it's definitely OK to own pieces reflecting multiple generations (4-digit, 5-digit, and 6-digit references), as well as pieces consisting of SS, TT, and PM (as your budget allows obviously). And the Sea Dweller models 16600 and 116600 are also completely legit options if you want the date function without the magnifier. Lots to love (and collect) within the Rolex dive watch range.

Keep ND and get a colorful sub or gmt or other rolex.

“Keep the pair of Subs” said the guy with three Luminor Marinas.

124060 and 126610LN are two similar. I would rather add a LV on top of no date or a GMT
or a SD43 or a two tones Sub or another Sub from different generation (4 / 5 digits)

I own a 124060. The only subs I would consider adding is either TT or full PM pieces. I would sell the steel date for a GMT like others or add a TT or PM sub date

too redundant for me. I agree with what some others have said, mix in something else with a date function.

Either of these combinations might work to keep a date function in your collection!

However, I can not ignore the fact that these are basically the same watch and wonder if it would be foolish to own both in a collection?

It's your collection.

A collection has direction, it isn't always just a bag of different watches with no rhyme or reason.

Having 2 different subs, or even a dozen, which you could have - all of them different in their own way - is more of a true "collection" than having a few that have no obvious connection.

I too am facing the same problem, I have a 114060 and a 116610LVc. I find that I grab the LV in almost every instance when deciding between the two. Partially because I wear a Speedmaster to work every day so when I switch it up I want to see something other than the black that I'm used to. I also see black subs all over the place which further deters me from wearing it.

I would keep both .

I think that’s a pair you don’t want to break up. They are different enough

I have a 14060M and a 124060. Both no dates, of course. So, having a Sub and a no date doesn’t seem redundant.

Yes.

I personally love the sub in any configuration.
My ideal two sub set up would be one LN and a PM.

I may pop on a YG OF Daytona first. But will ultimately pick up a PM sub as well.

You can’t go wrong!

Personally I feel having both the 124060 and 126610 is redundant.

As some others have pointed out, I would keep the 124060 and trade the Sub Date for a GMT Master II or the LV for color.

But that's just me, how you feel about it is more important.

Here're mine, cheers!

[wuyeah]

I personally won't get both. Doesn't excite me. I'll sell one and get another Rolex. If you can obtain a 5 digit Sub, then they are different enough to own both.
