Submariner No-Date 40mm Stainless Steel / Black / Cerachrom
The Rolex Submariner 114060 is the 40mm no-date ceramic Submariner produced from 2012 to 2020. It combines a black Cerachrom dive bezel, sapphire crystal, 300m water resistance, Oyster bracelet with Glidelock and Rolex Calibre 3130. Its appeal is simplicity, durability and market liquidity, but current pricing includes a major Rolex premium.

Executive Verdict
The 114060 is a strong watch, but the WatchIntel page needs to be more precise and less promotional. This is the no-date 40mm ceramic Submariner: sapphire crystal with no cyclops, closed caseback, black gloss dial, 300m water resistance and Calibre 3130 with 48 hours of power reserve. It is one of the most recognizable modern dive watches and remains very liquid on the secondary market. The caveat is price: compared with its original retail positioning, buyers today often pay heavily for Rolex brand strength, scarcity and liquidity rather than extra mechanical complexity.
Buyers who specifically want a no-date ceramic Submariner and accept the Rolex premium for liquidity and brand recognition.
Pure value buyers who cannot justify current secondary-market pricing or who need the newer 3230 / 70-hour Submariner generation.
Score Breakdown
Scores are editorial estimates, not certificates or investment advice. Methodology
Movement Truth
The 114060 uses Rolex Calibre 3130, a Rolex manufacture automatic movement with hours, minutes and seconds, 31 jewels, 28,800 vph frequency and approximately 48 hours of power reserve. Hodinkee's launch coverage identifies the 3130 with Parachrom hairspring and 48 hours of reserve. It is not the newer 3230 used in the 124060, so the correct framing is: proven and robust, but technically older than the current 70-hour Submariner movement.
Value for Money
Strong as a watch, weaker as a value buy at current market prices. At original retail, the 114060 was a compelling modern Rolex tool watch. At current secondary pricing, the value argument depends heavily on whether the buyer values Rolex liquidity, brand recognition and the no-date Submariner design enough to accept the premium.
Hype Tax
High, but not empty. The 114060 has real substance: 300m water resistance, robust case and bracelet, Cerachrom bezel and a proven Rolex manufacture movement. The hype tax comes from Rolex demand, discontinued status and secondary-market liquidity, not from a lack of product quality.
Serviceability
Good through Rolex authorized service and qualified specialists, but not cheap and not something WatchIntel should oversimplify. Calibre 3130 is a proven movement, but parts access and servicing route matter. Do not publish fixed service intervals or cost claims unless source-backed.
Resale & Liquidity
Very strong for a steel Rolex sports model, but not a cash equivalent. Use dated market data only. WatchCharts lists $10,554 market price versus $7,900 last retail as of Jun 05, 2026 / Sep 2021. That suggests strong demand, but future resale is not guaranteed.
Specifications
Better Alternatives
Comparable options at similar price points.
Current-generation no-date Submariner with Calibre 3230 and longer 70-hour power reserve, but higher price and slightly larger 41mm case.
Newer Rolex no-date Submariner comparison.
Much lower price, strong Tudor manufacture calibre MT5402 and more vintage proportions, but weaker resale and not a Rolex Submariner.
Lower-premium dive watch comparison.
Strong dive specification and Master Chronometer movement at a lower market premium, but larger, more modern and less liquid than the Rolex.
Alternative Swiss dive watch comparison.
Same ceramic-generation Submariner with date and cyclops. Better if the buyer wants the classic date Submariner look, worse if they prefer symmetry.
Date Submariner sibling comparison.
More tool-watch personality, titanium case and lower hype tax, but less dress versatility and weaker Rolex-level liquidity.
Lower-hype tool dive comparison.
